The past couple of decades have been fairly tricky for many countries due to economic challenges and political and social uncertainties. The UK has certainly been amongst such countries. But life there is getting better, according to the World Happiness Report, and indeed the latest findings of this annual review are something for the UK to celebrate. The project measures the quality of life in over 150 countries by scoring such factors as life expectancy, social support infrastructure, personal freedoms, and absence of corruption. In the latest Report, the UK had risen in the rankings from 15th to 13th place. While still a number of places beneath Finland, once again rated the happiest country, the UK has definitely become happier.
