Nigeria Ranks 6th Most Miserable Country In The World. March 31, 2019 Argentina, Iran, News Alert, Nigeria, Venezuela Data compiled by Steve Hanke, an economist from John Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA, has shown that Nigerians are the sixth most miserable people in the world. The misery index was calculated using economic indices including unemployment, inflation and bank lending rates. For Nigeria, the unemployment rate was the major contributing factor. “The original Misery Index was just a simple sum of a nation’s annual inflation rate and its unemployment rate. The Index has been modified several times, first by Robert Barro of Harvard and then by myself,” Hanke, the economist who compiled the list, said. “My modified Misery Index is the sum of the unemployment, inflation and bank lending rates, minus the percentage change in real GDP per capita. Higher readings on the first three elements are “bad” and make people more miserable. “These are offset by a “good” (
