Index ranking of happiness index

The British "New Economic Fund" announced that Costa Rica is the happiest and most environmentally friendly country in the world. Mainland China ranks 20th, Hongkong, China ranks 84th and the United States ranks 1 14. The happiness index is lower than Iraq and Iran. Nine of the top 10 countries are from Latin America. Among them, Costa Rica ranks first, with people's satisfaction with life of 8.5 points (the highest point is 10, that is, 85% of residents are satisfied), and the happiness index is 76. 1 minute, which is far behind the second Dominica. Vietnam ranks fifth and is the only non-Latin American country in the top 10.

The situation in OECD countries is worse than that in the 1960s, because although life expectancy and happiness have improved, this improvement is far less than the over-exploitation of natural resources. Among them, the overall scores of the United States, Chinese mainland and India are worse than 20 years ago. The United States, with a relative pollution score of 9.4, ranks 1 14, and China, with a pollution level of only 2. 1 minute, can rank in the top 20. The life expectancy of Hong Kong residents is 8 1.9 years, with a satisfaction score of 7.2 and a pollution score of 5.7, so it only ranks 84th. Zimbabwe ranks at the bottom because its life expectancy and satisfaction are lower than those of other developing or developed countries.

What is happiness?

Max, a member of the New Economic Fund, said that the Happy Planet Index helps to promote the change of the concept of a big country. Governments in developed countries should abandon the practice of linking happiness with macroeconomic figures that do not consider environmental costs, and should focus on long-term, happy and meaningful life and welfare.

Happiness standard

The report ranks 143 countries and regions in the world in the Happy Planet Index. The measurement standard is based on the life expectancy and life satisfaction of citizens in various places, but it also takes into account the per capita resource consumption in various places. The higher the pollution caused to the environment, the lower the ranking, so the top ranking is almost all small and medium-sized countries.
