According to the sixth annual World Happiness Report, Canada is the 7th most content nation in the world based on data from 2015-2017. The World Happiness Report surveys the science of measuring and understanding subjective well-being based on factors including GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy at birth, freedom to make life choices, generosity and perceptions of corruption within each nation evaluated. Canada is the only North American country in the top ten (see image below), with the majority of the remaining nine spots held by Nordic Countries including Finland (1st), Norway(2nd), and Denmark (3rd).
In addition to measuring the overall happiness levels, the 2018 report focused on migration and its effects on these levels by evaluating foreign-born populations of each country and comparing that to respondents who were born in the country where they were surveyed. The report then examines specific migration flows, assessing the likely happiness consequences (as represented both by life evaluations and measures of positive and negative affect) for international migrants and those left behind in their birth countries. With approximately 25% of Canada’s total population comprised of immigrants, it is interesting to note that life satisfaction among immigrants to Canada is as consistently high as results from the native-born population.
