Kabul: Afghanistan has emerged as the most 'unhappiest' nation in the world for the second consecutive year.

The World Happiness Report placed Afghanistan in the chart of most unhappiest nations.

The World Happiness Report is a publication of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, powered by the Gallup World Poll data.

Since the World Happiness Report was launched ten years ago, there has been a growing interest in measuring well-being and life satisfaction. This has been to a significant extent enabled by the data available in the Gallup World Poll since 2005-2006.

For the fifth year in a row Finland takes the top spot as the happiest in the world.

Denmark continues to occupy second place, with Iceland up from 4th place last year to 3rd this year. Switzerland is 4th, followed by the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The top ten are rounded out by Sweden, Norway, Israel and New Zealand.

The next five are Austria, Australia, Ireland, Germany and Canada, in that order.

This marks a substantial fall for Canada, which was 5th ten years ago.

The rest of the top 20 include the United States at 16th (up from 19th last year), the UK and the Czechia still in 17th and 18th, followed by Belgium at 19th and France at 20th, its highest ranking yet.
