[2019·重庆一中月考(三)]Finland is the happiest place on Earth, according to the World Happiness Report 2018 of 156 countries.

The report, released on Wednesday by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network, ranks the countries of the world based on six different categories of well­being: income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, generosity and social support. This year's report also pays special attention to the happiness of each country's immigrants.

The U．S. dropped four spots from 2017 and landed in 18th place. And last year's winner, Norway, came in second place —followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.

“The top five countries all have almost equally high values for the six factors found to support happiness, and four of these countries — Denmark, Switzerland, Norway and now Finland — have been in first place in the six World Happiness Report rankings since the first report in 2012”，co­editor John Helliwell told CNN. “In a division with such excellent tea ms, changes in the top spot are to be expected.”

Rounding out the top 10 happiest countries was Canada in seventh place, then New Zealand, Sweden and Australia. The order of the top 10 countries changed from the 2017 list but the countries did not, according to the report. They were also 10 of the 11 top spots in the immigrant happiness category (including Mexico — 24th overall, but 10th in immigration)．

“The most striking finding of the report is the remarkable consistency between the happiness of the immi grants and the locally­born，” Helliwell said in a statement. “Although immigrants come from countries with very different levels of happiness, their reported life evaluations resemble those of other residents in their new countries. Those who move to happier countries gain, while those who move to less happy countries lose.”

Other major world powers were placed in significantly low spots on the list. Germany came in 15th, the U．K. was 19th — followed by Japan in 54th place, Russia in 59th and China in 86th.

The report, based on surveys completed by citizen volunteers, came just under a week before the International Day of Happiness on March 20, when the U．N. declared

to recognize “the relevance of happiness and well­being as universal goals and aspirations in the lives of human beings around the world and the importance of their recognition in public policy objectives”．
