- According to the World Happiness Report, Finland has ranked the happiest! For the last 6 years, this Nordic country has ranked No. 1 out of 150 for all the things that generally make people content. In partnership with major global universities, the World Happiness Report uses categories like income, “social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption” to determine just how happy people are. The U.S. ranked 15th on the list.
You know it’s amazing how happy citizens can be when the government isn’t actively trying to destroy their people for the benefit of corporations.
No corporations, no jobs, you get North Korea :D
@@mannyechaluce3814 you're a little kid, never got to see the pop shops.
What a hypocrite. Put your iPhone down if you hate corporations so much
@@therealwewin You need help
@@adoe2305 do you ever get tired simping for the elites?
I've lived in Helsinki Finland for 2 years. It's very peaceful there, there is absolutely no poverty/poor areas throughout the whole city and country, yet there weren't so many high class rich areas. The quality of homes and roads etc were all organized and well put, even the cheaper government owned buildings. The only down side is that there really isn't much to do there. The ski resort up North in Levi is beautiful for a ski trip getaway, but other than that, not much else.
Mikä osa? Suomessa on jatkuvaa rikollisuutta. Et ole tainnut koskaan asua täällä oikeasti.
Explain not much to do?
@@climeaware4814 Ah well there was a little amusement park with rides, but that was pretty much it.
The Finnish women have this weird habit of breathing in while talking.
Is there any fancy cafes and delivery restaurants which you can order food from home?
Finland has a really great education system.

@@Mike549ll That's just wrong. They're considered the largest racial minority in finland, and have about 50,000 who live there.
A lot of them immigrated from Somalia in the 90's, and even have a term for them called Afro-Finns. You just wanted to be a weird racist though, didn't you?
@@sardonicus1739 they make up 0.11% of the population of Finland while the finns make up 93%… I wouldn’t say that’s very diverse bud.
@@sardonicus1739 My boy stoney checked that one 😂 talking about a few black y'all let come in the 90s? That was nearly 35 years ago 😂😂😂
@@Meh71016 They make up 1% of the population. Why do you feel the need to lie to make your point?
No corruption!?!
How wonderful!
Unfortunately, we have no idea what that feels like
yeah totally amr. but only thing is theres alot of depression and murder but do come .
@@Ryzrn masennusta löytyy joka maasta. Murhia täällä ei ole läheskään niin paljon kuin voisi kuvitella.
@@WishMFWOULD With what exactly? Corruption? Yes. And crimes involving children..
There is corruption here in Finland but it is officially very low. There was this big case of a police officer with drugs and money laundry.
@@NikoFinn In America, that is pretty common
Im finnish and yes im happy .
What do you like about your country? my former stepbrother from Canada got a scholarship there and last I heard, him and his former Russian wife and two kids were living in poverty.
I'm from texas and happy as can be
@@texasrider3891 very nice!
@@climeaware4814 It seems you found the Finnish version of the Watts projects, my dude.
Do you take anti depressants?
Happy to see Finland citizens happy
No POCs there. It'd be so awesome!
No tuition fee for university...how happier can it get really
Agreed.. it baffles me how the USA charges ridiculous amount of money for colleges. Education should not be for the privilege ones but for everyone
Nothing is free in a society unless someone willingly pays for it foe you to have it for free. In Finland our taxation is much higher, from that we get those for free food in school for example.
Sure, but once you graduate with a impressive degree, you end up paying more money in taxes than you ever would've for example in USA.
For example as a doctor you would pay over 1 million dollars for your doctor degree in taxes if you work for 40 years.
They pay high taxes. It’s not free.
@SierraLima oh yes let's keep the mega rich folks smart and richer and those who can't afford a decent education dumb and poor!... not everyone is a leech sucking dry the "productive" people's money. They're people and families genuinely starving themselves in order to bring somewhat of an education to their kids. You can't compare people's productivity because everyone social economic is different and I stand by my point, education should not be just for the privilege but for everyone!
Smart people! I wish we were like them.
White people **
White People :D
You aint wanna be like us 😭
@Critical Thinking really stood up to your name
@Critical Thinking oh and depressed people kts
I bet their people aren't riddled with debt from school and Healthcare.. I can definitely see why they're the happiest.. we can learn a thing or 3 from Finland ..
Healthcare is free and school gets paid slowly as you work/educate.
6-12 month queues to the doctors currently.
Who wouldn’t want to live somewhere where on average almost 50% of your income is taken by the government.
Hahahah go have fun making $5 an hour
Hey Un Known and black out: PLEASE DON'T COME TO FINLAND! STAY IN YOUR MOMMY'S BASEMENT FOREVER!!
Again? Yay we! Greetings from Finland ♥️
Finland won't last in a war.
That's because Finland is almost one nationality, compared to america where there's thousands of nationalities. When everyone is on the same page of course everyone's going to have a great time.
You're sister is somewhat cute in a like a small village kind of way
@@aerystargaryenii2565 Your
That’s a part of it but no student debt or healthcare debt and other results from there policies does a lot more in my opinion. The reason we can’t have that in the United States is the same reason there aren’t any public pools left
@@banic8576 You
I was in Iceland from 1980 to 1983 and it was allot like that. And the 4 family apartment we lived in was the best constructed home I've ever lived in. Whatever the weather was outside you had no clue unless you had the windows open....even when we had white out conditions with hurricane force winds for hours/days. To bad the homes aren't built like that in the United States and elsewhere but you'd have to pay a enormous price here to possibly get something like that. Plus it wouldn't be profitable for homes to last. They also use geothermal where they can.
"Diversity" is not always or automatically a strength.
Bingo.
@Critical Thinking Diversity often sucks. How's that for hate?
@Critical Thinking critical thinking. your name is ironic.
Universal healthcare, affordable housing, a government assisted retirement plan that isn't going to run out of money in 20 years, the list goes on
@James James I love arguing in bad faith!!! I have no moral convictions or desire for society to improve whatsoever I just love owning the libs!!!!!
@@wabumbo We have single states with more people than all of Finland. Having a small, homogenous population with very strict immigration requirements helps. We have more undocumented people in this country than Finland has citizens...
I live in New Zealand and I hope I can visit this country some day
And this Finnish guy wants to visit New Zealand someday
I have always wanted to visit New Zealand, on my bucket list.. greetings from Finland ♥️
Boy will there be differences for you😅
@@MattiAntsuK There could be
Best educational system in the world too !❤
My dads side is from Finland.. I'd love to see it someday 😊
Hop on a plane and come and see. You have only one life, live it. Greetings from Finland 🙂
Don't mention that their govt works for them and they all have retirements and living wages, as well as public housing and medicine. We wouldn't want to figure out why.
Bless Finland Great Nation!
My home country for the win Again! Woohooo babyyy🎉
And BTW I’m happy too😊
Very good for you, but sad that I live in New Zealand
High five man! Another finn here! Lol
@@ninjapirate123 Your country is beautiful as well.
@@diamondsarenotforever8542 and administrated by complete fools.
I would like to live in Finland 😊
Trivia note: The game show The Amazing Race has been on the air for 34 Seasons since 2001, yet they have traveled to Finland only once during Season 10, which aired back in 2006.
But how many times have they been to Tonga?
I heard Finland has like the best Education System.
yup, its completely free the whole way up. Plus no homelessness is just crazy to imagine but they've shown its possible
@@AlainnCorcaigh ~ Possible in a small homogeneous nation.
Education doesn't makes any one happy 🤣
idk why but I searched up "what country has the best education system in the world" and it came up with the United States rather than Finland
@@ninjapirate123 The US may have more universities, but overall the system is not better. Judging by the high suicide rates, unavailability of higher education and many other things.
Finland seems like a lovely place to live in no rapes, killings, violence and drugs alcohol just people's getting along.
Those things do happen in Finland it’s just not at a higher rate than other countries
@@uzaidgurjee4798 low rates of bad things. 👍🏻
@@uzaidgurjee4798 well at least having lower rate does help at least
Homogeneous people.
As long as they keep it Homogeneous, they'll stay happy.
We could learn a lot from Finland, but we won’t.
I'm Finnish and I always be happy, I met my non-Finnish friends (foreigners) in my school and college, it's good to live in Finland. 😊
i want to go there
Finland on top!
It would be fascinating to see if the Finnish policies for happiness could be implemented successfully in places like Chicago, LA, or NYC.
U would have to get the corrupt DA’s,Judges & Gov officials out before u even begin
NY City alone has a higher population than the entire country of Finland. It’s a like comparing the happiness of one family to an entire state.
Chicago, LA, NY and every other liberal hell hole is too corrupt to implement any policy for its citizens.
Not unless segregated
It'd be even more interesting to see you those policies implemented in Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma.
Exercise, walk dogs, play in snow. Got it!
finland seems so nice..
yeah, so much depression and murder/crime do come and visit anytime to get shanked. not a joke. Its constant crime here. this video is a total lie.

Wow!!!
yeah because making snow angels is so fun …😂literally just videos of people exercising and rolling around in snow.
But wait, here in America we were always raised and told this is the best country ever. I’m confused 😂😂
no that dream died in 1980s when Regan started Reganomics and China opened its doors to the world. In 2001, WTO said china is open to non punished trade and 50 thosuand factories from usa left for china.
Best for whom 👀
@@A0.917 good question
American dream moved to Europe when Reagan was elected.
Make America great again? :)
This country will make eveyone happy when someone visits it
As American i wanna go tp finland just tp see how school is like
Good for them, but the biggest reasons I couldn't be happy there is because #1 I don't know anyone living there, and #2 it gets much too cold in the winter in Finland since that country is just below the arctic circle.
There is no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing. Greetings from Finland.
@@mantelikukkapenkki2368 Hyvi sanottu! Ha
@@mantelikukkapenkki2368 hello, and I'm African American so to be honest, cold weather has a harsher effect on dark-skinned folks scientifically. That's why most of us don't look forward to winter.
@@mantelikukkapenkki2368Absolutely not true, when air hurts to breathe and you’d die without clothing, that’s indeed a bad weather. Even birds and vegetation know it so they disappear before the winter.
@@Settiis You would die without clothing almost the whole year round in Finland 😂. Also in the weather we consider very pleasant. You would call it bad weather, I would call it an attitude problem 😊
The title has got to be a clickbait. Iranians, Afghans, Sudanese, and Chinese lives far more happier lives than Finnish people.
@@BestOfAnimalss he’s being sarcastic
Depend of your definition of happiness…… some people feel happy when they mess other people life same as countries .
@@BestOfAnimalss ~ He’s kidding.
I'm half finn but has never been to Finland, I live in the neighboring country tho
It is time for you to come and visit 😊
@@erikafinland2162This video has to be very inaccurate because my girlfriend is Finnish and she told me many younger Finnish people struggle with depression and isolation it is also normal for people from Finland to go to therapy, she goes to therapy as well and she is recovering from depression. The suicide rate over there is also high, so there is really something wrong with calling Finland as the happiest country...........
I'm honestly shocked that the US ranks as high as it does right now.
I’m guessing you haven’t done much traveling.
@@FirstNameLastName-wt5to 😂
Finland-Free education through university, universal health care with an emphasis on health and well being, no mass shootings, respect for the environment, no one goes hungry or homeless, extremely low crime rate, constructive capitalism instead of corrupt capitalism, I could go on….
I think they meant to say the US ranks much lower than 15th on the happiness scale. It must be at least 59th.
Love Finland from Brazil 🇧🇷❤️🇫🇮
Thats just the benefit of a moderately wealthy country with a super tiny population. Easier to meet citizens needs.
If everyone in your country paid high taxes to take care of your country and citizens, you could do it too.. even better with more people paying for it..
They just need to benefit from American captialism and they’re set. Also, there’s a mental health epidemic in America that needs to be dealt with
@@einienj3281 Not necessarily, it comes down to the Government allocating the tax money properly and using it more on the citizens than on foreign policy.
@@asamisaito We don't want American capitalism.. it's predatory towards the workers and the poor..
@@bc4458 Maybe, but we use a lot of tax money outside too and becoming a NATO country, the cost of military expenses will go up permanently.. maybe it's bc there's very little corruption and no people stuffing their own pockets on every possible step..
I live in America and I can tell anyone outside of it with 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck it defiantly isn't the 15th happiest place to live.
We need to learn from them

I didnt know Harry Styles is Finnish❤❤❤😅😊
They dont have the "criminals" we have here in the US
True,I’ve noticed the more of a certain type of people there is,the higher the crime rate! Our neighborhood used to be fairly nice,but once “ they” started coming in,the problems escalated!
They also have one of the highest suicide rates
38th rank, quite high for Europe, yes. Still better than the US, though.
By the logic the countries with very low suicide rates (Syria, Venezuela, Lebanon...) should be among the happiest
@@mikrokupu No, no such logic. Having a harsher life makes you more resilient, for instance.
@@s.p.8803 And less likely to be reported
I am wondering who is 2nd and 3rd?
You know what Patrick would say…….
*FINLAND*
They also do not let in unrestricted third world immigration nor teach children to be ashamed of their heritage and culture.
USA is 15?!? Yeah, right..I still have to find some happy people…
We should be higher than 15. I'm surprised we aren't 20th
They have a better school system than us
Nah we all know the real reason 😂😂😂
As you watch America destabilize and grow stupider, keep repeating “diversity is our strength, this is cultural enrichment.”
@@QEsposito510 I 100% agree. Diversity isn’t our strength. I witnessed this first hand in my company as they hired hundreds through DEI then watched half of the hires either quit or get fired due to performance issues 😂🤣

Happiness is fleeting. Joy is what you actually want in your life
Joy is a product of hope.
Not a lot of diversity. Welcome to a happy Finland.
Alrighty then!
Because there’s no joggers in Finland.

The U.S should be either not on that happiness list or last place.
The entire country of Finland has a population of 5.5 million people. How happy would your household be with 4 people versus 400?
Is Finland trying to get me to move there?
What, is nobody going to say it’s because there’s less diversity?
Some people have said it in the comments.
Finland with a low crime rate, now that's impressive also i love their sauna's seems relaxing.
Probably they put their phones down.
Tuition free university and free healthcare
We pay a lot of taxes to make it work. It's not perfect, but it's good.

How can we ever be happy when we're born crying?
Finland has a population less than Alabama let that sink in for a minute.
A full minute with no explanation.
Yeah they have a high expectancy and a low crime rate and that contributes to their overall happiness.
But you didn't explain that why or how they have a high life expectancy or a low crime rate.
~ We all know why.
Crime rates rise when people have nothing to lose. Large middle class equals low crime rates. Universal free healthcare means people don't die of causes that can be cured.
We’re 15. That’s not THAT bad tho considering many other countries that have a very recent track record of human rights violations. Although Finland ranks #1 , we should all be thankful for America (the good and the bad). And besides, Finland sounds glamorous but not all that glitters is gold. Count your blessings ❤
I live in New Zealand and we get many young backpackers from Finland, Scandinavia and Germany and barely any backpackers from the USA. The main reason for that is European Countries have free university education therefore the youth can afford to travel and see the world, in the US University education is so expensive American Youth have no money left to do anything. Yes Americans claim freedom but really they don’t have the same freedoms of others, it’s a nation of privilege
@@ytzpilot yea they do travel, they call it spring break
@@ytzpilotnot really true nothing is free the healthcare and college is paid for by one the highest tax rates in the world
Relatively ethnically homogeneous country
America take notes . We were never great or ever will be .
That's not true happiness. That's just sort of happy on the surface. If you've never been "out" of your comfort zone, you'd think everything was ok.
And I thought the happiest place on earth was Disneyland
Thats a place not a country
Disneyland is the second whitest place on earth. Finland is the first. Surely there is no connection...
My husband heritage is from Finland and my Filipino combined, our families have the happiest, kindest and contagious smiles in our neighborhood as what the call, “life of the party”😊❤️🤗
