    Australia has been awarded “happiest nation among developing countries” once again.  That is three years in a row. According to the states gleaned by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the folks from “Down-Under” exceed the rest of the world when it comes to a strong economy and Better Life Index. 

    The island beat off the likes of Sweden, Canada, Switzerland and Norway – who formed the top five placements of the “competition” – as well as the other 30 countries that participated in the survey. They were ranked on criteria such as income levels, health and housing.

    The top 10 went as follows:

    • Australia
    • Sweden
    • Canada
    • Norway
    • Switzerland
    • United States
    • Denmark
    • The Netherlands
    • Iceland
    • United Kingdom

    Via the OECD website:

    Australia performs exceptionally well in measures of wellbeing, as shown by the fact that it ranks among the top countries in a large number of topics in the Better Life Index.

    Here are some points that got Australia its glory.

    • They exceed the OECD people to paid job ratio. 73% of Australians from 15 to 64 have jobs with income. 
    • High life expectancy that averages around 82-years-old
    • They have had almost 20 years of economic growth thanks to its natural resources.
