2025 World Happiness Report shows us at the lowest spot on the list

The United States has decreased this year to the lowest place ever Global Happiness ReportAn annual poll published on the International Day of Happiness. The 2025 report highlights the positive effects of charity and social relations on the satisfaction of people’s lives.

Finland remained the happiest country for the eighth year in a row, while Mexico and Costa Rico ranked first among the top 10 years for the first time since the report was published for the first time in 2012.

This year’s report occupies 147 countries with their happiness levels – based on the average population evaluation of their quality of life from 2022 to 2024. The Gallup World poll data, which requires those who respond to the evaluation of their current lives, is the main source of annual happiness classification.

The researchers have found that believing in the kindness of others, as well as caring for an activity and sharing it with others, has strong effects on happiness, according to the report.

“Happiness is not only related to wealth or growth – it is related to confidence, communication and knowledge of the people who have your back,” Gallup, CEO of Gallup, said in a statement.

It occupies the twenty -fourth United States, which is the lowest arrangement for it

The United States ranked twenty -fourth in the world, and it is a place less than 2024 arrangement. It reached America in the past in the eleventh place in 2012.

One of the factors highlighted in the report was to increase the number of people who Eat alone.

“In 2023, about 1 out of every 4 Americans had been eating all their meals alone the day before – an increase of 53 % since 2003,” the report said. “Eating alone has become more prevalent for every age group, but especially for young people.”

The data reviewed of the report indicates significant differences in meal sharing rates all over the world, with the participation of meals that have a positive impact on luxury.

The report said that there is one of the other factors that contribute to America’s decrease in classifications, as well as the classifications of some European countries, “the rise in political polarization and sounds against” the regime. “

The authors wrote: “The development of happiness and confidence in the country is related to the high possibility of voting for anti -regime parties in Western Europe and the United States.”

Mexico, Costa Rica, enter 10 positions for the first time

It seems that a major reason for the high classifications of Mexico and Costa Rica’s classifications is the family size.

The report said: “Latin American societies, which are characterized by larger family sizes and strong family bonds, provide valuable lessons for other societies that seek a higher and sustainable luxury.”

The Mexico report compared European countries, explaining that although it is poorer, “big families mean a possible advantage for building positive social reactions within the family, which may partially balance the differences in income with Europe.”

In Europe, 23 % of families were one person, while in Mexico, only 11 % were one person, according to the data mentioned in the report.

The authors wrote: “In both Mexico and Europe, the highest medium for life was reported by people who live in families with four to five members,” the authors wrote. “We also note the presence of an ult -in -shaped relationship in the form of the letter U. average of life is less for people in individual families as well as families that include six or seven members.”

Wallet

In 2019, the Gallup World People Revenge asked if they believed that others would return a lost wallet, and found that “people are very pessimistic about charity for others.”

“When the governor was dropped on the street by researchers, the percentage of portfolios that were returned was much higher than people expected,” the report said.

It also contributed to the belief that others will return to the lost governor in the classification of a country.

The report said that the northern countries, including Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, ranked first among 10 countries and were among the best places for the expected and actual return of the lost governor.

John F. said. Hilwell, economist at the British University of Columbia and a founder for the World Happiness Report in a statement, “The portfolio data is very convincing because they confirm that people live happier as they believe that people care about each other.”

In addition, the researchers found that charitable actions globally were 10 % more frequent in 2024 from 2017-2019.
