World Happiness Index Report is a publication that contains articles and rankings of national happiness, based on respondent ratings of their own lives.
The report is determined based on Gross Domestic Product (GDP), social support, healthy life expectancy at birth, generosity, and people’s perception of corruption.
India becomes the least happy country because it has scored low in GDP per capita, social support, and healthy life expectancy. Rapid urbanization and rise in crime against women and minorities are also two main factors for low score.
