Puerto Rico is among the world's top 30 happiest countries and ranks higher than all other Caribbean islands, according to a new United Nations report.
The World Happiness Report, released at a UN conference this week, places Puerto Rico in the 27th spot, ahead of Trinidad & Tobago (38), Jamaica (40), Cuba (69) and the Dominican Republic (93).
The report says Puerto Rico is the sixth happiest place in all of Latin America behind Costa Rica (12), Venezuela (19), Panama (20), Mexico (23), and Brazil (25).
Denmark tops the list, followed by Finland, Norway, The Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and the United States.
The 10 least happy countries were listed as Togo, Benin, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, Burundi, Comoros, Haiti, Tanzania, Congo (Brazzaville) and Bulgaria.
The UN conference titled "Happiness and Well-being: Defining a New Economic Paradigm" brought together in New York hundreds of representatives of governments - including Costa Rican President Laura Chincilla - academics and other civic leaders to discuss the issue.
Although wealthy nations like Denmark, Norway, Finland and The Netherlands lead the rankings of happiest countries and poor nations like Togo, Benin, Central African Republic and Sierra Leone rank among the least happy, the report noted that social factors such as the strength of social support, the absence of corruption and the degree of personal freedom were more important than wealth.
Jeffery Sachs, a prominent development economist at Columbia University in New York who edited the World Happiness Report along with John Helliwell and Richard Layard, said happiness could be achieved independent of economic well-being as measured by a country's gross national product.
"GNP (gross national product) by itself does not promote happiness," Sachs told the conference.

Aunque el 90% del pescado que se consume en Puerto Rico es importado, la sobrepesca de especies como el chillo, la langosta y ciertas clases de mero llevaron al Gobierno federal a limitar la cantidad de peces que se pueden capturar cada año en las aguas bajo su jurisdicción. Estas restricciones del Registro Federal (Federal Register) entraron en vigor el pasado 30 de enero y es la primera vez que son establecidas en la Isla.
