Colombia once again ranked happiest country in the world: survey
For the second year in a row, Colombia has topped the list as the world’s happiest country, according to a survey released Thursday by WIN-Gallup.
The survey known as the 2014 Barometer of Happiness and Hope reported that of the 1,012 Colombians polled, 86% self-reported as “happy,” while only 2% reported themselves as “unhappy.” This represents a rise of 9% from 2012 when 77% of respondents rated themselves as “happy.”
Over half, 58%, of respondents reported they would not change countries.

Fiji, Finland and Argentina follow Colombia in terms of self-reported happiness, according to the poll.
