Global Happiness Unaffected by Covid, Reveals Study and Celebrated on International Day of Happiness.

A global study of over 100,000 people across 137 countries found that Covid-19 has not affected humankind's happiness, with significantly higher levels of benevolence in all global regions than before the pandemic. People on average gave scores just as high in the 2020-22 Covid years as in 2017-19. Acts of everyday kindness that have been shown to boost happiness, such as helping a stranger, donating to charity and volunteering, are now above pre-pandemic levels. Finland remained top for the sixth successive year in the overall happiness league table, while Afghanistan stayed bottom.
