Dutch are high in Happiness Index and have a low 'happiness gap'

Dutch News  

The Netherlands is once again in fifth place in the World Happiness Index, a ranking compiled from Gallup surveys by a group of academics united in the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. The survey is based on individuals’ own assessments of their lives, but reflects six variables: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption. This year the survey focused on how Covid-19 affected the distribution of well-being and found life evaluations to be ‘remarkably resilient’, with global averages in the coronavirus years just as high as those in the pre-pandemic period. The report also looked at the ‘happiness gap’, the difference in happiness between the more and less happy halves of the population.
