Morocco has experienced an unprecedented decline in the 2025 World Happiness Index, ranking 112th globally—its worst position since the report was first published in 2012.
According to the annual report issued by the United Nations, Morocco scored 4.622 points, dropping five places compared to last year and twelve places compared to 2023 when it ranked 100th. The country ranked behind Ukraine, which is suffering from the consequences of war, but ahead of Tunisia (113th), while Algeria secured 86th place and Mauritania ranked 114th.
On a global scale, Finland retained the top position for the eighth consecutive year, followed by Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden. Meanwhile, Costa Rica and Mexico entered the top ten for the first time, while Afghanistan was ranked as the world’s least happy country. France placed 33rd, Switzerland 13th, and Canada 18th.
The index is based on personal assessments of life satisfaction, along with criteria such as GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and corruption levels.
The report highlighted that countries with strong social systems and democratic stability tend to achieve higher happiness levels, whereas nations facing economic and social challenges see a decline in rankings.
This sharp drop raises questions about quality of life, public services, and social satisfaction in Morocco. Will the coming years bring reforms that improve its position in global rankings?
