This year’s World Happiness Report is out and Kuwait has moved up the list and is now the 13th happiest country in the world. This is the highest spot I’ve seen Kuwait since I started following the report back in 2012, and now outs Kuwait ahead of countries like the UK, US, and Canada.
Kuwait was out of the rankings last year for lack of surveys for a three-year period, so this year’s ranking is based only on the 2023 survey.
The happiest country in the world is Finland, while the unhappiest place is Afghanistan in 143 with Lebanon right behind in 142nd. Here is how Kuwait compares with some other countries:
1 – Finland
13 – Kuwait
15 – Canada
20 – UK
22 – UAE
23 – USA
28 – Saudi Arabia
32 – Oman
62 – Bahrain
126 – India
127 – Egypt
142 – Lebanon
N/A – Qatar
The results are based on surveys from people in more than 140 countries who are answering questions regarding their overall satisfaction with their lives. The study also takes into account six key variables including GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity and corruption.

i doubt if this list is acurrate, not because of Kuwait’s position but due to the country tat bagged the 5th Position.
Fake news
Kuwait should at least be in the top ten.
The list is fake because Kuwait is the happiest country on earth. Im not being funny at all, and i know my name is misleading. Nor am i trying to be sarcastic.
What’s there to be happy about? 🙄
How can Kuwait be happier than UAE ? UAE is the most happening place in the region. Even Bahrain is much more happening now.
I don’t think “happening” is a criteria. I know a few people who moved to Dubai and wished they were still in Kuwait. It’s a lot more stressful there in somethings.
What makes Kuwait a happy place? Curious to know from everyone who has said it is the best place on planet earth.
It’s sad how people who live in Kuwait always wanted put the country down, it’s not the best in the world but there are many things we should be thankful about, that doesn’t mean there no space for improvement.
1- kuwait is one of the most stable countries in the region , even with the challenging changes in the region kuwait managed to stay safe and stable
2- Kuwait is considered to be the cheapest among neighboring countries in different aspects
3- we should take the report and try to use it to improve kuwaits image infront of the world
4- democracy , the only country in region that has freedom of speech , people post everything on social media and never get deported unless they go way overboard, try and post things in other countries and see what happens to you.
Let be thankful for once and try appreciate what we have and try and build on it.
Yes and I say it again there is lots of space of improvement and things will get better soon.
Let’s give Kuwait some love back the country needs it.
I really appreciate Mark for trying build this image and contributing to the community of all the events and positive things happening in this beautiful country.
definitely fake considering some of the other rankings Kuwait has bagged. And also from just common sense.
