I looked at that statistic to, but its only for OECD countries, thereby leaving out a large portion of the entire world. Kazakhstan, for example, is not on that list and it has a suicide rate of 27.5 per 100 000 people, for both sexes (WHO statistic: apps.who.int/gho/data/node.main.MHSUICIDEASDR?lang=en). The WP statistic is also from 2005, which is old.
Becauuuuse......the video is about the happiest place in the world .It makes Norway sound like Disneyland. There are always some VERY unhappy people everyplace. Even in this cold "paradise". I'll bet you are the type that sets fire to your own farts at parties,right ?
Trusting each other, more equality and closeness to nature may be summarized as the main reasons for Norway's high happiness index. May Norway continue in its great path and best wishes from India. On another note: The quest for happiness may create tension/ unhappiness. We are also prone to become unhappy for being unhappy.
How can't Norway be happy?! Low crime rates, extreme riches, beautiful and breathtaking landscape, friendly people, a great government with the best functioning democracy in the world, etcetera! How can they NOT be happy!?
@@rickw7903 Considering the climate and darkness, some people might need extra help to get through. But the society and politics are so good they are still more happy then you.
@@rickw7903 You Antidepressant over use belongs to American way of "life", not Norwegian. Here in Russia we have vodka as a national antidepressant, but I don't use it. I would better be sad but true.
This video seems to focus a lot on nature, but the real reasons for a happy population in Norway are not very complicated: Tax the rich appropriately and fairly, pay everyone a comfortable living wage on one 40hour pr week job, free health care, as little religion as possible. The end.
@@Zelielz1 fair point. but Finland/Sweden/Denmark also rate very high on these rankings, and they dont have those massive oil/natural resources that Norway does.
@@stevenponte6655 Also developed themself and then increased taxes. Also this guy says "tax the rich" when the welfare state in the nordics is maintaned by regular people not the rich.
Security is at the root of happiness. No drama, no scratching and clawing for money and power. You can enjoy family, friendships, nature, or a career if something more dynamic floats your boat. Where I live it's all about getting more...and we rank low on happiness and high on stress.
If you ski, you'll live a happy life! And also save most of the "Hygge" for the weekend and drink lots of coffee instead, eating healthy in norway is a must!
Why they are happy? In a country with a lot of snow and rain. Have you ever watch children playing in the snow or in roads with water holes. Norwegians have time for playing. You need a positiv attitude. Ther are no bad weather just bad cloting. As long as you keep on playing you are happy.
Humans don't appreciate things they don't achieve by themselves. UK has to find what works for them. They have to learn from their problems. Looking at Norway won't work. Norway has it's own flaws.
1) High economic freedom 2) Less but very effective regulations and transparency. 3) Lots of oil 4) Collective consciousness and trust. Strong community values. 5) Nordic welfare state, but sustainable. Basically a nordic country with oil.
We are not the happiest country anymore, I think we are in third place. And it's good. That's one thing I'm glad we have the best democracy in the world.
N our governments think spending billions on military and arms will make our lives worth living! Wish I was born there too. Maybe in my next life on this planet who knows.
Their Sovereign Wealth Fund is the top thing for me. Other countries with natural resources should use it as an example of how to invest income generated by the availability of some sought after resource.
When I visited a few years ago that's what I noticed. What I noticed too is that they get a lot of subtitled English language television (mostly American) so a lot of them probably grew up listening to English.
People should have more skepticism about these "happiest" country claims. And, I thought it was Denmark at some point, and at another point, it was Bhutan. I never believe these surveys anyway. How do you measure happiness to begin with? BTW, from what I heard, I think Italy, Spain, and so on should be the happiest countries. People there seem to socialize a lot at cafes and restaurants, their foods are great, they have amazing weather. That would be my two cents if you care to know.
Gas is the reason.If we had so much gas in our country with only 5 milion people,I would be very happy.Also,perhaps tablets they take to stop depresion may make them very happy.
I think facts matter more than feelings. One can feel that they have long old history, but at the end it's about the present. Is the present of Ethiopia worth such pride? A lot of people say Americans have no history. But they achieved far more in their 2 century worth of history compared to any other nations. When people go so far back in history to feel proud, they are not usually proud of the present.
Some points Norwegian people are the most happiest in the world, due for its nature's beauty, oil exploration, social equality, and so on. But something is a controversy about the stolen children from government.???
We are a same sex and bi racial couple and we were never made to feel as uncomfortable as in Norway - we were flabbergasted. We still can’t fathom how racist and homophobic people were. I hope we were just unlucky.
Kabuki Syneri they have it the best. However happiness is something subjective and personal unless you live in a country like Iraq or Syria or some parts of Africa.
Norways owes it to oil but prices are going down and without other im puts into the economy ,their benefits will diminish. Costa Rica makes it better with more beautiful labdscapes and sunny beaches aside from the political system ,
... You know.... Here in Norway, not all are blond.... Many has more brownish hair than blond, some comes from Asia so they have more tan skin and black hair, There is also people from Africa. My class has actually more brownish haired people than blond. But most just hang around with eachother, not caring about race. AND WE ARE NOT REALLY VIKINGS! At least most of us don't go around like madmans, But some do drink alot. There is viking festivals, but most people live a normal life, not beeing big and strong! There is probably viking blood in us tho. Kinda cool to think about......
It is because the system is made to give everybody the possibility to fulfill their dreams. So if you are poor you can go to university (if you are smart enough) it is free. If you want to live in the forest you can do that, because the law says that the land belongs to all people. Those freedoms make people more productive too. If you think all of this is bad that is your right. We think it is good.
If they were truly as happy as they say, so many people wouldn't consume antidepressants. Obviously, just asking people isn't always reliable. And the school results aren't so good. See the timss and pirls scores to learn the facts.
I found this video manipulative. Do anyone question the methodology of this ranking? If we focus on things like government corruption, job security, LGBTQ rights, and healthcare, developed European countries will rank high. If we focus on how people live their lives, and positive/negative experiences ranking look drastically different and at the top, you see mainly Latin America countries.
Ekhm, at the same time, Norway is on the 74th place on the suicide ranking country. Is is really bad? Well, could have been better. I've been living in Norway for over a year and I can tell you that Norwegians are not as happy as the video portrays. These days as the country develops even more under the weave of new immigrants from all over the world, it is also possible to feel that people have it more and more stressed and more is demanded of people on daily basis. Other countries in Europe have started experiencing it around 15-20 years ago and Norway is catching up now. The era of globalization, narcissism and everyone who want everything done by now plays a huge role, but.. We've created it ourselves and there's no turning back.
Only when the parents mistreat their kids. Violence, abuse or serious neglect are things our country believes children should be protected from. It’s not love when you scare your own child into submission
congratulations, Norway, may your citizens and culture thrive long into the future !

So basically: More nature, Less people. Got it.
And more coffee.
Lots of oil money to start with.
Which is already inherently better.
Also true equality.
This is what every country should strive for.

So beautiful. Such a beautiful lifestyle. I have much admiration and respect for Norwegians. Wonderful.
I hope Norway keep their living ways and stay away from the bad influences of the US government.
we kinda look down on the american way..
The American government covertly rules Germany, and the EU is a CIA project.
Compared to Norway, the US is a much more difficult place to govern since it is a complex system ethnically, socially and culturally.
Calina Nguyen racist
Amen.
The country's healthy lifestyle also affect how the population looks. I mean look at them! Smart, Gorgeous, Polite, and Happy,.
And naive.
Haha, not everyone agree that we Norwegians are polite :P . But yes, we live quite healthily :) .
Notice that the most peaceful, prosperous, and happy countries also rank the highest in terms of population science literacy.
spot on

norwegians are warm people. i like the country and their way of life. i have been there kongsberg a few times. missed the place.
I love my country.

Awesome nature , nice people, this is where I want to be !
barnevernet, norway scandal
The most important thing is to focus on what you like. I like the fine industry of Scandinavia especially of Sweden.
Why they are happy? In a country with a lot of snow and rain. Have you ever watch children playing in the snow or in roads with water holes. Norwegians have time for playing. You need a positiv attitude. Ther are no bad weather just bad cloting. As long as you keep on playing you are happy.
Respect :)
No secret just More snow, Frost and ice and people are Happy....
Greetings from Finland 🙃

Yea.... Start drinking coffee instead of tea, that's a start.
You can start by leaving the EU

I want to know more about Lapland.
Lapland, It is an area in the Nordic countries that has historically been populated by Sami. So you search for Sami in Norway, Sweden, Finland.
Their Sovereign Wealth Fund is the top thing for me.
Other countries with natural resources should use it as an example of how to invest income generated by the availability of some sought after resource.

Most just work within Norway.

They used to have less sociologists, now they're having more and happiness is fading away
I want to go Norway for 1 month
wasnt burma the happiest country?
Hehe.
My assumption of Norway was that they all play chess.
When noone gives a damn about one's internal matters one is bound to be happy

Norway is beautiful but no country parallels the history of ancient and Godly proud Ethiopia!!!
