| Description: 5. Turkmenistan Misery index score: 70.5 Inflation: 10.5% Unemployment: 60% Agriculture accounts for only eight per cent of Turkmenistan's revenue, but employs half the country's workforce. The country suffers from rampant corruption and mismanagement from its authoritarian government. And it isn't going to get any better. According to the CIA Factbook, 'Overall prospects in the near future are discouraging because of endemic corruption, a poor educational system, government misuse of oil and gas revenues, and Ashgabat's [the capital of Turkmenistan] reluctance to adopt market-oriented reforms.' |
