The second contender on the list is Denmark. Ranked second happiest country for its 33 hours work in a week, $20 minimum wages, free education, and medical care alongside free childcare. Being a nordic country, the citizens are satisfied with their life because it is predictable, reliable, and comes with extensive welfare benefits, a low corruption rate, and of course a small population. The country has all the quality ingredients to be a happy place.
Switzerland
Known as the Neutral country, Switzerland has got it all. From the world-class chocolate for starters to the fantastic landscape, it is simple to understand the level of happiness of the locals.
The life expectancy, GDP per capita, social support, and so on make up for great life choices. People there are known to be a lot sporty and love the outdoors. Besides from a job’s perspective, it's a higher risk of at least 75% than the regular median pay in both the UK and US.
Iceland
Another of the happiest countries in the world means you are looking further towards the northern pole. Iceland has proved time and time again that its natives are tough, resilient, and genuinely kind. Despite the long winters and harsh climate, you will find the people extremely warm, cheerful, and favorably optimistic. The great sense of community and closeness is one of the reasons behind Iceland being a happy country.
Netherlands
Dutch are happy people. None is happier than the youth of the Netherlands. According to the WHO report, Netherlands has always shown consistency in the high satisfaction for life among Dutch teenagers. The virus attack couldn’t even take the happy feeling of the country. Known for the best work-life balance, the quality of life is unprecedented as compared to other countries. The high levels of trust and benevolence have increased the well-being of the residents.
Norway
Although Norway is moving down the list since 2017, Norwegians do not have much to complain about. They have one of the best social security systems to date, a growing and thriving economy under the umbrella of responsible management, Norway has got it all. Besides, a great education system, high life expectancy with great social support, and freedom have triggered happy endorphins.

Sweden
Scandinavian countries have one thing in common, their lively enthusiasm to live to the maximum. While Sweden may not be high on the ranking so far but it still made up to the top 10 being one of the best places in the world to live. The education system is well respected and consists of world-leading practices like parental leave and free childcare. On the bright side, it is also one of the most sustainable countries with almost 99% of its waste that goes for recycling. No wonder Sweden is on your happy list!

It may sound surprising to your ears, but New Zealand is the only European country on the list with high rates for the quality of life.
