T&T the happiest country in the Caribbean

Trinidad and Tobago has been named the “happiest” Caribbean country to live in according to the United Nations (UN).

The country ranked 38th happiest country in the world based on the 2018 World Happiness Report released by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations.

Trinidad and Tobago maintained its spot from last year at 38th out of 156 countries after climbing up a couple spots from 43rd in 2016.

The next-highest-ranked Caribbean country on the happiest scale was Jamaica, which placed 56th in the world. Haiti was at 148.

Finland took the top spot for being the happiest place in the world. Second was Norway, followed by Denmark and Iceland.

The report which was released six days before World Happiness Day on March 20 ranks countries on six key variables that support well-being such as income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, social support and generosity.

This year’s World Happiness report featured data about the happiness of immigrants in their host countries. It found that the 10 happiest countries also scored highest on immigrant happiness, which suggests that migrants’ overall well-being was tied to the quality of life in their adopted home.

This is the sixth World Happiness Report published, which is in support of the UN High Level Meeting on happiness and well-being. It is also considered to be the proper measure of social progress and the goal of public policy.

you fighting up on a cricket forum twisted

Bredda everyone knows T&T is a violent country with a high crime rate, the stats don't lie.

But with that being said not surprise Trini people are happy people, does not take much for us to fete, lime and be festive

In reply to problemjay

I fight on the ground too,my fight here is putting the violence in perspective and show that bodies can be falling all around you but as long as you not involved in unsavory activities and take basic precautions as you would anywhere else you will have a great fulfilling life in T&T and this index just proves it..

Drapsey 2018-03-16 06:50:10 


So Bobby McFerrin had it all wrong when he sang "Don't worry, be happy" characterizing the everyday Jamaican attitude?

Or did he make the mistake of a few in thinking that T&T is located somewhere in Jamaica?

Ok, I'm ducking now...

Exactly we Jammin still.
City could burn down we Jammin still.

And that is the reason why the country is in a mess, most of the people live in their own bubble ignorant to the reality until it strikes home.

Even forgetting crime, and just looking at the financial situation of the country, how many are being sent home each month, there is no way T&T should be 'this' happy but as I say we jammin still, thats the mentality.

Sweet Sweet T&T.

Look how them love up meh country.

I can show you the same happened in Canada same time...there wasn't a murder for 5/days before that unfortunate event...don't you see no positives at all in your country ?

You sound bitter and disdainful of parts of T&T culture...no where in soca or calypso promotes violence so why do you hate it so much ?/if anything it calms the place a bit..

Please be advised tahy you don't talk for all of T&T obviously and this UN reports further confirms that..

Why bring your dark cloud here ?

Geez man migrate if you haven't already..apply for refugee status in Canada..

Your a duttyness ...there wasn't a murder for 5 days before that a few days ago and none for 2/days after that,February had half of January and despite that disheartening domestic wickedness March would be less than February ..no records breaking this year sorry..

Maybe you should try to get happy too and stop feeding off negativity only like Andy....

And nearly 10% ah de Guyanese population living in 'little spec' T&T!

Barbados has 25,000 Guyanese. R U saying that T&T got even more Guyanese??

In reply to bravos

Bruh simply I go say fcuk you.

I am 100% Trini and I express my views as I see it.

I dont care about Guyana, Jamaica, Canada, per capita.
I care about T&T.

And as I say even ignoring the crime, look at the growing unemployment rate, TT has no reason to be this happy, only when it hit home then ppl go wake up.

Negativity nor positivity, I live in reality.

 
bravos 2018-03-16 13:11:54 

80% of the time Trinidad know exactly who dey killing,most of these murders are street justice for wickedness and reprisals


Like I said many times before save the odd domestic massacre and odd robbery murder many of which could've been prevented, live a good straight life in T&T stay out of bacchanal ,stay off the fringes,observe basic safety protocol as you would in LA or anywhere else and you could be living in a real happy country..



That guy on the run for killing those kids the lady and the old man may also be killed for his deeds and the unfortunate thing its gonna be classified as a murder too..

We will win the war on guns and US style gangsterism ,soon as we get the US to make a better effort with their drug lusting population and legal gun runners

You are spot on.

bravos lives in a different world, just imagine proud that no murder in 5 days.

Like you noted I am looking at T&T and no other country.

Its is one of the reasons I ignore he rass. He is an
embarrassment to all of T&T.

Tobago economy is at a standstill at the moment, Trinidad
is not far behind.

When posting facts, you are a hater.

the 'FACTS' of my country are more than murder and if yellow belly assholes can't enjoy it well sorry for allyuh old boring sorry ass,and allyuh ain doing nothing to change it either...

Get out of MURDEROUS T&T you may get gunned down at the movies,school,concert,the mall,work,clinic...NOT!!

Walk straight and stay off the fringes unless you capable and you good..apart from the soldier killed by his own relative and the 4 killed by that small cock man it's mostly pests getting killed in holes,and that's a FACT..

And any of those pest come around me or mine or I see dem distressing anyone and I can help it I will personally report their demise here,and if dey get me instead I died fighting for T&T,fucking cowards some ah allyuh and dem...

I am prepared to fight for T&T and each murder affects me to the core more than you couple agenda driven assholes trying to fuck up a lighthearted thread about T&T,fuck allyuh clueless assholes....

Go live in India ,allyuh stinkin duttyness..

De F@king UN say de country happy because they CONSIDERED and agree with what i'm saying and a couple anonymous message board alter egos prefer to only spread and highlight probably the only reason we not #1 rated in the world..there must be some unhappy people related to crime I agree and we are working on that...wtf you people want let the new laws come into play,in the meantime expect mostly more dregs to be murdered...But don't expect any records..

I continue to see the positives and potential of my country and live in bliss everyday in this twin isle republic,almost everything is perfect,even to look at....
