The UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) has compiled the results of various surveys concerning the satisfaction, health, education level and lifestyle of the citizens of 28 EU countries. The ONS has compiled the results using statistical data from Eurostat, European Quality of Life Survey, Eurobarometer, PISA and World Gallup Poll.

Finns emerged as the happiest nation in Europe. Based on PISA survey results, Finland also took the top position among the EU countries in youth literacy and science.

The comparison also shows that Finns are the most physically active nation in the EU. When asked about their physical activity, 72.5 percent of Finns aged over 16 said that they exercise at least once a week, while the average in Europe was 39.7 percent. The Swedes were on a par with the Finns in physical activity, but in the UK, for example, only 46.8 percent of people said that they exercise once a week.
