Moving three places from last year, Norway now ranks as the world’s happiest country, while the Central African Republic is the world’s least happy country at the 155th spot, according to the “World Happiness Report 2017”. On the other hand, Egypt took the 104th place, jumping 16 places from its previous ranking in the 2016 report and the 9th spot in Africa, while Algeria ranked first in the continent. The World Happiness Report measures the social foundations of happiness and subjective wellbeing, based on three main aspects. First is “Life Evaluation”, which gives a reflective assessment on a person’s life or some specific aspect of it. The last criterion is “Eudaimonia”, which is a sense of meaning and purpose in life or good psychological functioning.
