Taiwan is among the happiest countries in the world. That’s according to Bloomberg’s latest misery index survey.
The survey of 51 economies is based on Bloomberg’s calculation of inflation and unemployment, two major factors that can contribute to unhappiness. Thailand took the title of the world’s happiest country thanks to its unusually low jobless rate. Following Thailand in second place was Switzerland.
Japan, which has just emerged from decades of deflation, took third place, while South Korea and Taiwan finished out the top five.
