Kenya Ranked 111th in the 2023 World Happiness Report
Kenya has ranked 111th in the 2023 World Happiness Report, a publication of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network.
The country jumped eight places from position 119 in 2022, ranking ahead of its neighbors Uganda (113) and Tanzania, now ranked in position 129.
For over 10 years, the World Happiness Report has been examining the state of satisfaction in 137 countries across the world.
Using data collected by the Gallup World Poll, which interviews 1,000 respondents in each country to assess their happiness on a scale of one to 10, economists at universities in Canada and China put together the report.
This year’s report focused on how people have been able to stay happy and connect with others during the crises of the Covid-19 and war in Ukraine.
The survey leverages six different factors including GDP per capita, life expectancy, generosity, social support, freedom, and perceptions of corruption, to rank countries.
Once these factors have been measured each country is given an overall score out of 10.
Finland topped the global ranking for the sixth year in a row while Denmark, Iceland, Israel, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and New Zealand took the remaining top 10 spots.
In Africa, Mauritius takes the top spot, with a happiness score of 5.902 followed by Algeria, South Africa, the Republic of Congo, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Nigeria, Cameroon, and Mozambique.
The annual index ranked Afghanistan as the unhappiest followed closely by Lebanon, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, and DRC Congo.

Interesting. As a Kenyan, I wouldn't even want to live in the top african countries mentioned as the happiest.
This happy-Meter needs to be recaribrated.
Folks dont put too much stock in to the results of this poll.If it were a survey,trust me, the results would be totally be different.Besides that in acountry of about 55 million people,like Kenya, what is a sample of ony 1000?
Happiness much like sex, it is hard to quite get the right questions,and quite the right responses.They are never consistent from person to person every week.
Conclusion: Noboby has of yet invented areliable HAPPYSCOPE.

PLASTIC😁 (Synthentic/GMO) Smiles is What KENYAns are Good at. Faking it Upt to Position 111.
This is a very good report. It will help Kenyans value their country, develop it. It will also help Kenyans who are living in foreign nations come back home to retire at home.
We ask all Kenyans to start thinking about either moving back home or becoming tourists in your home country.
Help us provide support to our people and our government.
Invest at home, bring your skills home.
That's my ultimate plan, to go back home
