Finland has retained its position as the happiest country for the tenth consecutive year, according to the latest World Happiness Report. Israel ranks 8th in the report, while India ranks 116th, behind war-hit countries like Iran.

The report, published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford, takes into account a three-year average of people's self-assessed life evaluations, based on six key indicators: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and perceptions of corruption.

Israel stands out with an average life evaluation score of 7.187, while Iran's score is 5.151. India's average life expectancy stands at 58.2 years, with a life evaluation score of 4.536.

The report also highlights the negative impact of social media on the well-being of young people, with life evaluations among under 25-year-olds in several countries dropping significantly over the past decade.
