The annual World Happiness Report surveys 350.000 people in 95 countries with the aim of gauging how happy they are. In this year’s iteration, Germany has been ranked as the seventh-happiest country in the world.

The World Happiness Report 2021

Every year, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network conducts a survey of 350.000 people in 95 countries, in order to collate the data into the World Happiness Report. The researchers discern the happiness of a country using metrics like availability of social support, life expectancy, income per capita, personal and civil freedoms, and corruption. The authors rely on data from the Gallup World Poll to create the report. Coronavirus has obviously had a big impact on people’s happiness over the past year, and so, the researchers have altered the criteria for this year’s World Happiness Report to reflect that. Researchers analysed people’s emotional response to the pandemic, governments’ responses and how trust in the government related to happiness.

Germany is the seventh-happiest country in the world

For the fourth year running, Finland ranked as the happiest country in the world in 2021. In fact, the Scandinavian countries (Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway) all made it into the top 10 again. This list remains largely unchanged from previous years. However, there were large jumps for East and South Asian countries, as early government intervention and strict lockdown restrictions mitigated the effect of the virus on people’s lives. Croatia also made huge gains this year, jumping from 61 in 2020 to 23 in this year’s rankings. Germany performed particularly well this year, jumping 10 places to land in seventh place. Happiness in Germany has largely increased due to better life evaluations from its citizens, with financial security and social stability playing a big part in this. The survey found that, until recently, Germans were largely happy with their government’s response to the pandemic.

Who found the Mona Lisa after it was stolen?

history.com - Stolen “Mona Lisa” recovered in Florence - HISTORY

Two years after it was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris, Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece The Mona Lisa is recovered inside Italian waiter Vincenzo Peruggia’s hotel room in Florence. Peruggia had previously worked at the Louvre and had participated in the heist with a group of accomplices dressed as Louvre janitors on the morning of August 21, 1911. Leonardo da Vinci, one of the great Italian Renaissance painters, completed The Mona Lisa, a portrait of the wife of wealthy Florentine citizen Francesco del Gioconda, in 1504. The painting, also known as La Gioconda, depicts the figure of a woman with an enigmatic facial expression that is both aloof and alluring, seated before a visionary landscape. After the recovery of The Mona Lisa, Peruggia was convicted in Italy of the robbery and spent just 14 months in jail. The Mona Lisa was eventually returned to the Louvre, where it remains today, exhibited behind bulletproof glass. It is arguably the most famous painting in the world and is seen by millions of visitors every year.
