world: British survey Fri Jul 28,

LONDON (AFP) - Danes are the happiest people in the world, according 
to a new survey that measures health, wealth, education, sense of 
identity and the aesthetic quality of the landscape. 

The survey follows another earlier this month that said the tiny 
South Pacific Ocean archipelago of Vanuatu was the happiest country 
on Earth.

Friday's study, published by a University of Leicester academic who 
produced a World Map of Happiness, showed seven of the top 10 
happiest countries were Western democracies, with the Bahamas, 
Bhutan and Brunei being the exceptions.

The United States ranks 23rd, Germany comes in at number 35, and 
Britain ranks 41st.

"When people are asked if they are happy with their lives, people in 
countries with good health care, a higher        GDP (gross domestic 
product) per capita, and access to education were much more likely 
to report being happy," said Adrian White, the social psychologist 
who carried out the study.

"The frustrations of modern life, and the anxieties of the age, seem 
to be much less significant compared to the health, financial and 
educational needs in other parts of the world."

White's analysis was based on the findings of more than 100 
different studies questioning 80,000 people around the world.

In the study published earlier this month by the British think-tank 
New Economics Foundation, ranked certain members of the Group of 
Eight (G8) industrialised countries much lower than the latest 
survey.

The United States, for example, ranked 150th, Germany 81st and 
Britain 108th.
