1. Venezuela

Hanke’s Annual Misery Index 2020 Score: 3827.6

The policies of Venezuela’s government have failed to bring about any desirable results, and the high rate of corruption in the country makes its residents miserable. Moreover, the unemployment rate in the country is 9.14%, contributing to the residents’ misery. Furthermore, oil makes up 95% of the country’s exports; with oil reserves declining, the country’s government is unsuccessfully attempting to save the money that it already has. Due to this predicament, consumer price inflation is high, which adversely affects people’s happiness. Venezuela is the first on the list of 25 miserable countries in the world.
