This survey ridiculed both the leftist opposition and the far right.

Finland still kicks everybodys ass despite government cuts, immigrants, WEF, globalism and NATO.

Social media gives too big megaphone to extremists and people complaining how everything is f*cked and everybody sucks.

# “This index does not tell us about happiness”

According to **Lari Hokkanen**, a doctoral researcher in social policy at the University of Helsinki, “this index does not tell us about happiness, but about life satisfaction. It’s an overall cognitive assessment of how life feels, and it doesn’t necessarily involve strong emotions – positive or negative,” he told Yle.

In his view, the high ranking of the other Nordic countries in the report is largely based on social stability and a strong welfare society, which provides mental resilience in difficult times.

“The fact that there are many Nordic welfare states in the top ten does give us some clues. Institutions create security and trust even in difficult times,” Hokkanen said.

Happiness is also explained by the Finnish sense of moderation, he suggested.

“Definitely part of life satisfaction and happiness is what you expect and what kind of life you imagine for yourself. Finnish moderation is a very strong part of why we are so high in these rankings,” he argued.

So yeah, basically it’s about being content with your life, what most people have now or what they can reach is enough for them. Or at least this is also how I interpret it as a non Finnish person who has been closely monitoring Finland / Finnish media.

Yes, Finland is facing issues, yes Finland has the highest unemployment rate in the EU, and your government is doing things the Finnish citizens actively disagree with, yet even with all of those problems, I still think it’s a much better country than mine overall (Hungary).

I think your elections / government work a little different to ours, so forgive me if I say something incorrectly, but I do hope you guys can change the party who governs Finland next year.
And I’m.. sorry for all the “What do you think of Finland being the…” future posts.

Tsemppiä O7

Then there is me who cant get a job for 18 months because someone who will accept 10 euros an hour will get the job instead.

Great. A fake prize made for recruiting agencies in foreign countries convince cheap labor to come to Finland. That will surely help.

It’s unbelievable when counting the hardships we are going through now I wonder if we will make it the next year

Just imagine how sad the others are

Ok since no one ever cares enough to ever check the methodology and would rather just speculate in the comments, here is again how the happiest country is determined. They ask only one question that has a scale from 0-10, and take the average of the results. This is the question:

>Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top. The top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. On which step of the ladder would you say you personally feel you stand at this time?

Faaaaaah……!!! 💥
