Afghanistan is unhappiest country in the world: UN

The United Nations World Happiness Report has found that Afghanistan is the unhappiest country among 149 countries of the world.

The report was made public on Saturday ahead of International Day of Happiness on Sunday, March 20.

Transformation of the political system and recapture of power by the Taliban in Afghanistan was not the reason behind the country being the least happy as the World Happiness report produces its reports based on its date of the past three years.

Lebanon, Botswana, Rwanda, and Zimbabwe are in the bottom five unhappiest countries of the 149.

Finland was found to be the happiest nation followed by Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland, and the Netherlands.

The worlds’ happiest and unhappiest countries are ranked based on six categories: GDP per capita, freedom to make life choices, social support, healthy life expectancy at birth, perception of corruption, and generosity within the population. The scores are from zero to ten wherein Afghanistan scored low in all categories.

With the humanitarian, hunger, and economic situation in the country, Afghanistan is not expected to leave the spot for another country in the next few years.
