The 2020 World Happiness Report ranked Finland, for the third year
running, as the world’s happiest country. The "Nordic Model" has
long been touted as the aspiration for social and public policy in
Europe and North America, but what is it about Finland that makes
the country so successful and seemingly such a great place to live?
Is it simply the level of government spending on health, education
and welfare? Is it that Finland has one of the lowest rates of
social inequality and childhood poverty, and highest levels of
literacy and education? Finland clearly has problems of its own –
for example, a high level of gun ownership and high rates of
suicide – which can make Finns sceptical of their ranking, but
its consistently high performance across a range of well-being
indicators does raise fascinating questions. In the quest for the
best of all possible societies, Danny Dorling and Annika Koljonen
explore what we might learn from Finnish success.
