The report's research leverages six key factors, including social support, income, health, freedom, generosity and the absence of corruption. 

"Average happiness and our country rankings, for emotions as well as life evaluations, have been remarkably stable during the three COVID-19 years," John Helliwell, an editor of the report, said in a release. "Changes in rankings that have taken place have been continuations of longer-term trends, such as the increases seen in the rankings of the three Baltic countries.

Helliwell said that even during these years, "positive emotions have remained twice as prevalent as negative ones, and feelings of positive social support twice as strong as those of loneliness."
