"Australians are the happiest people in the
world."
This is according to a new survey from the market research
company GfK NOP. Interviewers asked 30,000 people in 30
different countries about their levels of happiness. Forty-six
percent of Australians said they were “very happy”. Following
them was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34
percent) and the UK and Canada (32 percent). Hungary
finished top of the “miserable” list. Thirty-five percent of its
citizens said they were “very unhappy”. Second most miserable
were Russians, at 30 percent.

The research showed that money and age affected how

happy people are. The study did not show that money can buy
happiness, but it did reveal a link between a lack of money and
unhappiness. Unhappier people were in lower income groups
or unemployed. The study also suggested the older we
become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the
happiest people. The least happy age group is 50-59 – only 16
percent of those in their fifties said they were very happy. The
things that make us happy include good health, financial
security and a happy marriage, not cars and clothes.
 a.A new study says Australians are the world’s happiest people.

b. Interviewers carried out 30,000 telephone interviews.
