KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has climbed 11 places to 70th in the annual World Happiness Report by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

The country had been observing a drop in happiness level over the last four years, from being ranked the 35th happiest nation in 2018, plummeting to the 80th spot in 2019, 82nd in 2020 and 81st in 2021.

The 2022 World Happiness Report, now in its 10th year, was released on Friday, ahead of the International Day of Happiness on March 20.

The scores and ranking were generated from a three-year-average of data collated between 2019 and 2021. It is based on the people’s own assessment of their happiness, as well as economic and social data.

Malaysia, this time around ranking 70th of 146 countries surveyed, scored 5.711 in the measure for life evaluation in the 2022 report, up from 5.384 in 2021.
