That is the point. When you exclude that group of people only from 15 out of 32 surveyed countries, you skew the results for the whole survey. You can’t draw parallel conclusions from different samples.
The goal of this comparison is to compare urban-to-urban, because those countries which don’t have this exclusion have relatively tiny rural populations.
Tell me you didn’t read the report without saying you didn’t read the report. Satisfaction drivers are the metrics for the happiness in that report.

Then it ISNT a
“Global Happiness Index”
, rather it is a
“Global URBAN Happiness Index”,
and such profound mislabeling of things is disinformation, not journalism.
Which, itself, is so systematic & profound, nowadays, that there isn’t much hope for integrity to win, in our world, now, anyways.
