Finland

However, over the past 8 years, it has notably improved its standard of living and outpaced other countries. Its citizens’ well-being is ensured by social support, a high level of freedom to make your own life choices, and minimal corruption. At the same time, in terms of generosity of the general population, the Finns’ score is rather low.
