WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States ranked 23rd among 143 nations in the World Happiness Report released on Wednesday, marking the first time it had fallen out of the top 20 since Gallup first published the report in 2012.
Its relatively low ranking was driven by a drop in the well-being of Americans under 30, according to the report, which developed additional rankings by age group.
Finland topped the list for the seventh consecutive year. Nordic countries dominated the top 10, which also included Denmark; Iceland, Sweden; Israel; Netherlands; Norway, Luxembourg; Switzerland; and Australia.
