1. Happy Countries
幸 福 国 家

2. 挪威是全世界最快乐的国家 Norway is the Happiest country

3. 哪些国家是全球最快乐的国家？不同的方法可以
产生截然不同的结果。金钱当然不是唯一依据，
还要考虑公民的机遇、公平及自我感觉。有些人
认为不丹是最快乐国家，有些国家如朝鲜和古巴
认为自己是最快乐的国家。列格坦研究院最近公
布其全球繁荣指数调查，指出
全球繁荣指数以89个不同因素分析了110个
国家及地区。数据来自盖洛普世界民意调
查(Gallup World Poll)，WTO、世界发展指标
（World Development Indicators）、GDP、
世界知识产权组织、联合国人类发展报告、
世界银行、经济合作与发展组织(OCDE)和
世界价值调查(World Values Survey)等报告。
89个因素被归纳为8类，并利用类别中所有
因素的平均值得出8个分项指数，分别是：
经济；创业与机遇；政府治理；教育；健
康；安全和保障；个人自由；社会资本。
例如，“个人自由”包括言论自由、宗教自
由及对新移民和少数族裔的宽容度。“社会
资本”的分项指数包括参与义工、慈善工作、
帮助陌生人、觉得可依靠家人和朋友的公
民百分比。
有些国家因数据不足未列入统计范围。
挪威是全球最快乐的国家
What is happiness? Whatever happiness is to
you, there’s some conditions under which it
most readily blossoms.
The Legatum Prosperity Index indicates
Norway is the happiest country in the world
The Legatum Prosperity Index is based on 89 different
variables analysed across 110 nations around the
world. Source data includes CallupPoll, WTO, World
Development Indicators, GDP, World Intellectual
Property Organization, UN Human Development
Report, World Bank, OECD and World Values Survey.
The 89 variables are grouped into 8 sub-indexes which
are averaged using equal weights. The 8 sub-indexes
are Economy; Entrepreneurship & Opportunity;
Governance; Education; Health; Safety & Security;
Personal Freedom and Social Capital.
For example, Personal Freedom includes freedom of
speech and religion, national tolerance for immigrants
and ethnic and racial minorities. The Social Capital sub-
index includes the percentage of citizens who
volunteer, give to charity, help strangers, and who feel
they can rely on family and friends.
