World Happiness Report: The annual World Happiness Report reveals which countries are the happiest and which are the most unhappy. At a global level, various factors are considered to determine the level of happiness, including people's freedom, health, corruption, and income.
Afghanistan tops the list of the most unhappy countries. India's ranking in this list is also highly disappointing.
The World Happiness Report is primarily based on six factors: social support, health, income, freedom, generosity among individuals, and absence of corruption.
These factors are crucial for human well-being. The countries that do not score well on these factors or have lower scores are considered the most unhappy nations.
In a list of 137 countries, Afghanistan ranks as the most unhappy country in the world. Under Taliban rule, Afghanistan struggles with low life expectancy, poverty, and hunger.
Having been a battlefield for decades, Afghanistan's people are forced to live lives filled with despair amidst inflation, unemployment, and the brutal regime of the Taliban.
Lebanon holds the second position on the list of the most unhappy countries. The nation grapples with social-political turmoil and economic instability, leaving its people discontented with both society and the government.
Sierra Leone ranks third on the list of the world's most unhappy countries and holds the first position in Africa. The nation faces severe economic challenges and political instability, leading to widespread discontent among its people. Citizens of this country, struggling with social unrest, also find it difficult to meet their basic needs for food and sustenance.
Zimbabwe holds the fourth position in the World Happiness Report. Currently, Zimbabwe is facing various challenges, leading to widespread despair and hopelessness among its people.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is ranked fifth on the list of the most unhappy countries. The nation has been grappling with prolonged struggles, political turmoil, authoritarian rule, and forced displacement of its people. Surrounded by challenges from all sides, the people of the Congo are discontented and hopeless about the country's situation.
Botswana also faces a lack of political and social stability, leaving its people dissatisfied. As a result, the country ranks sixth on the list of the most unhappy countries.
Facing challenges such as rising population, barren land, and lack of irrigation facilities, Malawi struggles with hardships, earning it the seventh spot in the list of unhappy countries. People here suffer from shortages of food and drinkable water, and the economy is in a dire state. Amidst limited resources and the burden of a growing population, despair prevails among the people of Malawi.
Comoros is known for its instability and is often referred to as a 'coup-prone country'. The people here are deeply disheartened by social and political instability, earning Comoros the eighth spot among the most unhappy countries.
Tanzania is enduring economic, social, and political instability, placing it at the ninth position on the list of the most unhappy countries.
India may not be included in this list, but its situation is also not very promising. In the list of 137 countries, India ranks 12th from the bottom, meaning it is the 12th unhappiest country in the world.
India's economy is rapidly growing on the global stage, but its performance in the Happiness Report is not very positive.
