Netherlands in top of happiest countries
Netherlands holds the fourth place on a list of 'happy countries' of the United Nations. Only Danes, Norwegians and Swiss are even happier.This is evident from the World Happiness Report, published on Monday.
The researchers looked at the average number of years people lived in good health, if they have someone they can count on, and if they have the freedom to make life choices.
Generosity, freedom from corruption and gross domestic product per head also count.
