Luxembourg Luxembourg, the world’s second-richest country per capita, combines economic strength with high well-being to rank among the happiest nations. Its multilingual, multicultural society—nearly half residents are foreign-born—thrives on tolerance and efficient governance. Free healthcare, generous parental leave, and subsidized childcare ease family burdens. Short commutes (many cycle or use trains) and abundant green spaces, including the Müllerthal forest, support mental health. Despite high incomes, Luxembourgers avoid ostentation, valuing privacy and modesty. The government invests heavily in education and digital infrastructure, preparing for a post-finance economy. Strong labor protections ensure job security, while work hours are reasonable by European standards. Social trust is high, aided by transparent institutions and low corruption. Challenges include housing affordability and traffic congestion, yet robust public services and community cohesion buffer stress. National identity blends French, German, and local influences, fostering openness. Luxembourg’s small size enables responsive policymaking, allowing rapid adaptation to citizens’ needs. Happiness here reflects stability, opportunity, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing your society works—for everyone.
