Finland is world's happiest country - U.N. report

Despite its sometimes harsh climate and dark winters, Finland is the world's happiest country according to an annual survey by a United Nations-affiliated group. Easy access to nature, safety, childcare, free healthcare and good schools ranked high amongst Finns. Finland, which was in fifth place last year, ousted Norway for the top spot. The Top 10 continue to be dominated by the Nordics with Finland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden next to Iceland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Credit: Reuters
