There are some countries where citizens are more or less satisfied with their lives, primarily due to better economic conditions.
Let's take a look at some nations where people are least suffering, according to a study carried out by Gallup.
Note: Gallup considers people to be suffering if they rate their current lives a 4 or lower and their lives in five years a 4 or lower. The respondents do not label themselves as suffering.
