In my previous Mexico News Report article, I reported that, according to the World Happiness Report, Mexico is the 10th happiest country in the world.
According to another poll, the Ipsos Poll, Mexico is the third happiest country. Admittedly, there were only 30 countries in the survey. Still, being #3 is impressive.
The Ipsos Poll interviewed 23,765 people in 30 countries. It asked this question: “Taking all things together, would you say you are: very happy, rather happy, not very happy, not happy at all?” It then added up those who selected the first two options (very happy and rather happy) and added them together.
The poll was administered between December 20th, 2024, and January 3rd, 2025.
According to the Ipsos Poll, India is the happiest country in the world. In that country, 88% of respondents said they were happy.
In second place was the Netherlands, where 86% said they were happy.
Mexico was in third place, with 82% saying they were happy. In Mexico, 21% said they were very happy and 61% reported being somewhat happy. That adds up to 82%.
The United States ranked #21, right under the United Kingdom at #20. In the U.S., 15% reported being very happy and 53% somewhat happy.
