Cold, dark and wet: welcome to Copenhagen in December. On the face of it the city would be the last place you would think of calling the world capital of joy.
But the bleakness and dreariness belies a deep-seated contentment that has earned Denmark the title of happiest country in the world for the past two years.
That is the verdict of a ==UN commissioned survey== of some 156 nations. In this edition of Reporter Valerie Zabriskie tries to find out just what it is that makes the Danes so happy.

I know I'm not supposed to take pleasure in watching the countries that criticized Denmark or called us racists for having strict immigration laws now dealing with all the problems we always warned them about, but I just can't help it. Just another example of the citizens trust in the government being rewarded in Denmark.
America is not free. It is tough living and not a whole lot of benefits. When the system looks out for you a lot of pressure comes off the top. Allowing you to pursue other things other than making ends meet.
Anne Oneal you cant compare america with denmark, denmarks population contributes to the system while 30% of the american population extracts from the system.
@@peter-johndejong9880 That's like conflating safety nets and hammocks.
It's one thing to fear socialism, communism, whatever you call it because of the power and influence that it puts in the hands of the state. It's another thing to use it as an excuse to dismiss anyone who asks us to stop turning a blind eye to those who are suffering.
I am from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰👍🏻💚
The US can never become Denmark. A place like Denmark is only possible with a homogenious population, with a long history build on trust and faith in one another. Everybody have to take part or else it falls. That's why you can't just let in everybody from everywhere. That should be pretty simple to understand for most people. But for some it obviously isn't.
The Danes are like ONE big happy family.
i am muslim girl and i love denmark😊😉😆😅😄😃😂😁😀😀😋
What about Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Gambia, Indonesia, Iran, Mali, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Turkey, Yemen? Do you love them even more?
I am not happy in America
Denmark is a small almost homogeneous country with high trust, strong social cohesion,low criminality, a comprehensive welfare system and is free of corruption but it has few open spaces and a relatively high population density and lacks open spaces. Scotland has very similar population size , though mass immigration has damaged trust and social cohesion it does have beautiful countryside, nearly full employment, good social provision (including free university tuition + healthcare+ medicine) almost zero corruption and yet most of us are dour so I think crime, human condition and culture affect human happiness too. I'm sure the Scottish presbyterianism legacy also contributes to the general level of dourness. Having said that , I never got the impression the Danes were a particularly happy lot any time I've visited that country. I personally believe the New Zealanders should be the happiest with all that they have going for them with Portugal a close second.
Interesting.... Also notice all the happiest countries are also small countries... Maybe that is one key, small committees....
No the key is social equality !!!!
What do you mean by that?
737tech A societys health should be measured by how well it treats its weakest citizens :)
Thelittle Dane So how should the weakest be treated? Sure they should be helped. Help them get back on their feet. But don't enable them by keeping them on welfare. Over here we have a big problem with healthy people making a career out of living on welfare and they call it help the poor.
That's probably part of it. I mean, if you have fewer people to measure with, the highest and the lowest are surely going to be closer to the median.
I'm in. Love.....
The weather is the only reason I won't leave Australia today and Australia is pretty dam good too our politicians are not as bad as some but our system is still corrupt .
This comment didn’t age well

Take in 1 million Muslims form the Middle East and Africa, then see how the Danes are doing lol
Sam Lowry Why? It’s a fifth of the population... No country would accept that. Not even the muslim countries
The results are to be seen in Sweden.
Well we are getting there, around 500-800k are muslims in Danmark
What are you talking about???
We do not have many muslims, Sweden has......
@@johnsandy7802
It is not true 🙄
denmark is happiest cause they can speak good English thats it, english is secrete of there happiness lolz,
Thanks i Think
worlds happiest? thats why there are so many alcoholics, depressed people and suicides I guess.
Denmark has low suicide rates compared to the rest of the world, and lower then the USA or China. Their drinking culture is more sustainable, as they drink around meals. Every country has depressed people, but Danes are the most likely to want to avoid depression.
They are also the most likely to say they are thriving. www.gallup.com/poll/153818/nearly-one-four-worldwide-thriving.aspx
We still have to deal with the rest of the world.
America is the best. We have freedom
DoReMiForever 1985-2006 Vintage Channel its like we thought dial up connection was great, then we had DSL. yes the danes have somewhat freedom, but not true freedom.
+william sewell And we have free healthcare. And school.
Martin Ipsen doesnt make you happy. Just worry free, not happiness.
TheGuyWithTheBratzDolls 2005 First, you're*
Second, in the US you have to pay for healthcare in a bulk, like $20,000 for an operation. In Denmark you pay tax and therefore don't have to pay $20,000 at a time but a couple of hundred/month.
+TheGuyWithTheBratzDollz Denmark ranks higher in freedom than the U.S, so yeah... If you could provide facts to support that the U.S. is better than Denmark, that'd be great.
Netherlands suppose to have the happiest people in the world, lots of sex and lots of 420 weed! How's the "Happy" weed in Denmark?
+Cheeky Nham One word: Christania!!!
And you sound so stupid... But yea, Holland is a great place too.
Lucas Schaaf Agree,that why I have visit Amsterdam 6 times.
If I say,,,,, Denmark rotten, as a USA citizen, then so what
And your ripped me, otherwise I yes Home USA
Yes, Denmark sucks. California is the place to be!
denmark is boring
If boring means safe and comfortable, then I'm fine with a bit boredom.
Same!
You're free to leave
