8. Nepal

Description: 8. Nepal

Misery index score: 54.3
Inflation: 8.3%
Unemployment: 46%


One of the least developed countries in the world, about a quarter of Nepal's population lives below the poverty line. Agriculture drives the Nepalese economy, accounting for more than a third of its GDP. Civil strife, labour unrest, its landlocked geographic location and susceptibility to natural disaster exacerbate its already weak economy.
