Top 10 Least Happy Countries in the World

Serbia: A landlocked country, Serbia with a score of 44.8 is the third most miserable nation globally. It is unemployment that brings this country in this list. Out of 20.1 percent of unemployed people, about 51 percent are young people. According to Laszlo Andor, European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, if Serbia enters EU today, it would be the third place rated for unemployment after Greece and Spain.

“Young workers are the future of Serbian economy and the future of the country. If their unemployment lasts too long, it will be a generator of social unrest, and will have a negative impact on economic development, demographic future of the nation, and its political destiny. Resolving this issue should be a priority for Serbia and the European Union with its instruments will encourage the country’s efforts to address this problem”, Andor added.

Iran: With a high misery index of 61.6, largely due to high inflation, Iran is named the second most miserable country in the world.  Also the political relations with the West that have made travel to Iran difficult for the past few decades, resulting in a surge in tourism.

Venezuela: With a misery index score of 79.4, Venezuela is named as the most depressing nation in the world. It is mostly due to its super high inflation, which was officially 56.2 percent last year; but analysts suggest it was five times that rate.
