Table: The World's Happiest Countries

本次福布斯的全球最幸福國(guó)家排行是基于Gallup World Poll組織對(duì)全球155個(gè)國(guó)家、上千名被訪者的調(diào)查產(chǎn)生的。這項(xiàng)調(diào)查共持續(xù)四年,詢問了包括“每日的感受”、“是否覺得被尊重”等問題。最終得出的結(jié)論中包括四個(gè)指數(shù):percent thriving(幸福者比例)、percent struggling(奮爭(zhēng)者比例)、percent suffering(不幸者比例)、daily experience(日常經(jīng)歷)。排名是根據(jù)幸福者比例做出的,其余指數(shù)只是參考。

Quantifying happiness isn't an easy task. Researchers at the Gallup World Poll went about it by surveying thousands of respondents in 155 countries, between 2005 and 2009, in order to measure two types of well-being.

First they asked subjects to reflect on their overall satisfaction with their lives, and ranked their answers using a "life evaluation" score from 1 to 10. Then they asked questions about how each subject had felt the previous day. Those answers allowed researchers to score their "daily experiences"--things like whether they felt well-rested, respected, free of pain and intellectually engaged. Subjects that reported high scores were considered "thriving." The percentage of thriving individuals in each country determined our rankings.

以下是排行前十的國(guó)家,有并列產(chǎn)生。毫無懸念的,前十名當(dāng)中歐洲國(guó)家占了一半,其余有兩個(gè)美洲國(guó)家、三個(gè)亞洲國(guó)家(此排行將澳洲也并入亞洲范圍)。從上到下分別是:丹麥、芬蘭、挪威、瑞典、荷蘭、哥斯達(dá)黎加、新西蘭、加拿大、以色列和澳大利亞。

除了哥斯達(dá)黎加和以色列之外,其他國(guó)家幸福指數(shù)高都在意料之中。

中國(guó)和肯尼亞、加納一起并列排在第125位。
