People living in denmark are the happiest, europe wide study shows

People living in Denmark are the happiest in Europe while those living in Portugal are the least happy, according to a study from Cambridge University.

But no where in Europe did the majority of the population declare themselves happy, the newly published study, Flourishing Across Europe, also found. It questioned 43,000 people in 23 countries.

In Denmark some 41% of the population declared themselves happy, followed by 31% in Switzerland, 28% in Austria, 27% in Finland and 26% in Norway.

The most miserable countries, according to the research, were Portugal and Russia, both with just 9% of the population feeling happy, then Slovakia with 10%, Bulgaria 11% and Ukraine 13%.
