The UAE ranked 21st in the World Happiness Report 2025, outperforming all Arab countries and surpassing major nations such as the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The UAE achieved this advanced ranking due to its strong economy, distinguished infrastructure, and high levels of social support, as well as the state of peace and security the country enjoys.

The ranking included 147 countries, with Afghanistan ranking last according to subjective life assessments averaged over the period from 2022 to 2024. The researchers identified several key factors that contribute to individual happiness, including social support, income, health freedom, and the prevalence of corruption.
