RD is happier than two years ago; but it is one of the most unhappy countries in Latin America
Or at least that indicates the results of the World Happiness Report 2018, published last Wednesday at the initiative of the Network for Solutions for Sustainable Development of the United Nations (UN), which is responsible for measuring the state of happiness at global level. The report placed RD in 2016 in the 89th position, in 2017 in the 86th and currently it was positioned in step 83, in a list of 156 countries, in which position 1 corresponds to the happiest.
