Botswana has once again emerged among the seven least happy countries in the world in the 2023 Global Happiness Report published yesterday (May 20th, 2023) in a report titled The Worldโs Happiest Countries in 2023 published yesterday on https://www.visualcapitalist.com/
Measuring subjective ideas like happiness and life satisfaction is tricky business.
Are wealth and prosperity legitimate measures of happiness? How about safety and health outcomes? In the West, we view democracy as a key component to happiness, yet there are countries under authoritarian rule that score high in the Happiness Index. Questions like these make โranking happinessโ a particularly challenging puzzle, but also one worth pursuing. If policymakers have a clearer picture of what conditions can foster happiness, they can enact policies that can improve the lives of people living their jurisdictions.
The map above is a global snapshot of life satisfaction around the world. It utilizes the World Happiness Reportโan annual survey of how satisfied citizens are worldwideโto map out the worldโs happiest and least happy countries.
To create the index the map is based on, researchers simply asked people how satisfied they are with their lives. Scores were assigned using these self-reported answers from people living within various countries, as well as quality of life factors. While there may be no perfect measure of happiness around the world, the report is a robust and transparent attempt to understand happiness at the global level. For more detailed notes on the reportโs methodology and more, we recommend viewing the info box at the end of this article.
Now, letโs look at the worldโs happiest countries in 2023.
