The report  of the  happiness  round the globe  was sponsored by  the united Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network  and to see the measure the happiness level  within the people  as got and interesting finding.

Denmark, Norway, and Sweden are the top three happiest countries in the world.This was according to the findings of the second World Happiness Report published on Monday.However, like in the first world report, Bhutan was not included in the list.Center for Bhutan Studies (CBS) president Dasho Karma Ura explained this was because the survey questions the centre used in the country were not the same as those used to determine happiness levels in the report.

The World Happiness Report was compiled by a group of researchers drawing on Gallup World Poll data from the past three years.

While Bhutan was not ranked in the World Happiness Report, it was mentioned a few times.

The report stated that while more countries measured progress in reference to happiness of its citizens, Bhutan was currently the furthest in this aspect.

It also mentioned that many countries were following Bhutan’s lead and under the country’s leadership, there was now a connected international network, supported by a series of international GNH conferences to measure and build happiness in local organizations and communities in countries at all stages of economic development.

The happiness report also stated “the world has become a slightly happier and more generous place over the past five years”.

It pointed out that mental health was the single most important determinant of individual happiness.

About 10 percent of the world suffered from clinical depression, or anxiety disorders. However, this aspect, the report said was largely ignored by policy makers.

The report also showed that people who are emotionally happier, had more satisfying lives and lived in happier communities were more likely to be healthy, productive and socially connected and that such individual benefits also spread out to their families, workplaces and communities.

It was pointed out “there is rising worldwide demand that policy be more closely aligned with what really matters to people”.

The report stated its objective was to support efforts to bring the study of happiness into public awareness and public policy.

The report has been released ahead of the opening of the 68th session of the UN general assembly, which is to take place later this month.

The UN general assembly passed a resolution inviting member countries to measure happiness of their people and use it to guide public policies in July 2011.

This was followed in April 2012 by the first UN high-level meeting on happiness and wellbeing that was chaired by former Prime Minister Jigmi Y Thinley.

The report was sponsored by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
