Zimbabwe has been ranked as the world’s fourth unhappiest country in the world making it 134th close to the bottom end of the rankings alongside Afghanistan in last place (137th), with Lebanon (136th), Sierra Leone (135th) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (133rd) just ahead of it.
Mostly fifteen European nations dominated top twenty positions on the list, with Finland declared the happiest country in the world, for the sixth consecutive year in the annual World Happiness Report, with Denmark, Iceland, Israel and the Netherlands rounding out the top five for 2023 as New Zealand ranked 10th and Australia came in 12th.
Zimbabwe’s former Colonial master United Kingdom scraped into the top twenty in 19th place, beating out Lithuania with a few non-European countries in top twenty which include Israel (fourth), New Zealand (tenth), Australia (12th), Canada (13th), and United States (15th).
The first World Happiness Report was published more than ten years ago, and simultaneously it has been exactly ten years since the United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution 66/281, officially announcing March 20 to be observed as International Day of Happiness.
This World Happiness Report revealed the official ranking of the happiest to least countries globally, listing 137 nations in their results.
Zimbabwe as expected did not fare well on the latest edition of the annual World Happiness Report which is compiled using statistical analysis to take into account factors such as gross domestic product per capita, social support, life expectancy, freedom to make one’s own life choices, generosity of the general population and perceptions of the level of corruption in the society.
