First of all, as the Chinese people how to understand the happiest country of this statement. My personal view is that individual happiness is a feeling of personal life, not based on the report reflected.So for Chinese, the way to get happiness is not to emigrate to a country with a high happiness index, but to see how their attitude towards life is.
According to the 2018 global happiness report, released by the United nations，Denmark ranks third。In utopian northern Europe, Denmark has the most remarkable model: free medical care and higher education in Denmark, with monthly state subsidies for college students; Danes work an average of 37 hours a week, five weeks of paid leave a year; Danes get 90% for the two years after they lose their jobs. So Denmark has the lowest number of poor people in the world and it has a very small gap between the rich and the poor.Besides ，most importantly, Danes have the highest happiness index in the world.
In an age of a forest guard takes cover as his Comrade is attacked, our desire for happiness may have reached an unprecedented level--the material can no longer satisfy the desires of the bourgeoisie, and the proletariat can no longer see a way out in a globalized society.It seems that people can only turn from external needs to inner desires: happiness. Such a simple word, many people say the highest desire for life: do not need to be rich, do not need to stand out, the best living happy.
Denmark is the happiest country in the world, followed by Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Finland, according to a 2016 report by the United nations sustainable development solutions network (SDSN) and the Columbia University earth Institute. Four of the top five were Nordic, and the top ten were Nordic .The report is based on six main indicators: GDP, life expectancy, social assistance, generosity, freedom and trust. In addition, there is a large proportion of the satisfaction.
Whether there is a happiest country in the world or not, the answer is naturally no, happiness is not measurable. Northern Europe in recent years continued to lead the report, but how well-being is measured is still unknown.Happiness has neither units nor standards, and all this data represents the competitiveness of a country, whether it performs well politically and economically. To some extent, this "happiness" is the embodiment of comprehensive national strength, rather than individual subjective will.
Denmark, at the top of the national competition, is not only statistically "happy", but also seems to be the case in people's minds. A fairy-tale society should not just have GDP, but should have a place as attractive as wonderland. If I ask anyone what they think of Denmark, most of them think of colorful cabins, beautiful harbour, Andersen and mermaids, Lego blocks and simple designs, all in all, a kingdom full of beauty. Fairy-tale beauty is everywhere.Everyone who has traveled to Denmark will say how beautiful it is, even those who have lived there for a short time will never forget it.
Denmark is indeed a beautiful place, but not the utopia most people imagine. Perhaps it is the need for a political stance, perhaps it is the proliferation of travel advertising, or perhaps even just for economic gain, Denmark is not only happy to be "happy" but also to try to make themselves more "happy". The Danish way of life is being used as a new standard of happiness, and it seems to the rest of the world to exist as a haven--no war, no pollution, no poverty, no oppression.
