Israel has remained the 11th happiest country in the United Nations’ international happiness rankings – for the fifth year in a row.
The UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network asks citizens of 156 countries around the world to evaluate the quality of their lives on a scale of one to ten.
Part of the study also focused, for the first time, on Russian immigrants to Israel, finding that although they had experienced some problems in their new country, they saw their lives as being more positive post-migration.
Last week, during an interview with an American radio host, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, spoke about Israel’s consistently high ranking in international happiness standards.
