Which African countries thrive? Scientists have a new way to measure welfare

What does it mean to live a good life? Patients and social scientists have been focused on a new thought-called prosperity – a sense of well-being than just a good life. It’s about your whole life to be good, including your contact with your fellow people and your community. So, how do Africans go when it comes to prosperity?
Victor is calculated as a psychiatrist in all 40 African countries gives more to prosper on the continent. His discovery can challenge the outstanding news that Africa is “full behind” in the development of a picture that shows a good life. We asked much.
What thrives?
Prosperity is more than the economic growth or happiness. Most of the situation illustrate how people feel about their lives and how well their lives go. So it also measures the prices of people in their community.
The idea of well-living often emphasizes the eurocentic emphasis on each person – personal satisfaction, independence, achieving. The successful accounts for which one is the person in terms of their environment.
It includes social, spiritual and environmental conditions where one lives. Therefore, it is not how one feels, but how a person lives – fully, meaningful, satisfying satisfactory and the world around us.
What worldwide research is there?
The successful study of the world is trying to measure the world’s patterns of human prosperity. It is a continuous study of over 200,000 participants in 22 countries.
One of the group of international scholars included styles on that means that it would be well with all health problems.

Research reflects the thickness of prosperity:
-
Happiness and Life
-
Mental and physical health
-
Close social relations
-
FINANCIAL AND NOTE
Participants measured how they did each of these places from 0 to 10. Additional questions capture reliance, loneliness, hope, intensity, and other good variables.
In 22 Nations, Five in Africa: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, and Egypt.
While these countries above global levels (Indonesia and Mexico do), Nigeria, Kenya and Egypt all reported that the well-being of the higher democracy, especially when considered well without financial status.
For example, Nigeria, placed on 5th worldwide in prosperous areas that included financial indicators – before many wealthy nationalities. The Nigerians display the strength in community relationships, character, and fine qualities (such as being forgiven or helping others). But potential growth areas included financial welfare, housing, literacy and education.
In all, this suggests that while material resources are important, it is not the only thing that decides well. Kenya was counted 7, at Gypt 10th, Tanzania 11th and South Africa 13. Each showed different powers in areas such as meaning, social interactions or mental health.
You have made a different lesson from the prosperity of Africa. What did you get?
In the study of 2024 we analyzed data from the Gallup World POLL (2020-2022) to examine 38 indicators of life in 40 African countries.
This study has given a detailed picture of the delicate culture that the African people receive and prospered. The examination of the survey were taken from domestic and wings sources, allowing the proper understanding of the region.
We have found that Africans often get the highest score, character and social relations – despite economic hardships. This provides significant remedies for western thoughts about welfare.
Some important findings was:
● There are great differences among African countries. Mauritius puts the highest in the health test (complete satisfaction with their lives), and countries are similar to Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe.
● East Africa and Ethiopia show strong social holidays (such as a respected feeling or learning every day) even if economic indicators were low.
● West African countries, such as Eenegal and Ghana, beat high points of emotional well-being, and many people report daily mood like laughter.
● South African nations, despite challenges such as inequality, shown by the intensity of a strong public relations and the philosophy of the philosophy of the personality.
The results were strengthened that the prosperity in Africa could not only be reduced to the Home Product (GDP) with each capita (average economic issues in the country) – or in Western fields success.
How might African countries focus on prosperity?
In my opinion, the way to successful false depths in the development of local knowledge and investment in the priorities of developing culture. Instead of following Western ways – focusing on individual development – Africa can vote some developing methods that show the most important African population.
1. Forward local information plans
African ideas about the contacted community – such as personality (In South Africa), Jamaa (East Africa), istering or The Was Notesobia (West Africa), and Al-Mudwat Wal Tarahum (North Africa) teach people to take care of each other and live in peace. These treasures help people to lead meaningful lives and to appreciate leadership and laws.
2. Redachine Development metric
The models developed west are focused on each achievement, economic evacuation and material use. GDP with a capita fails to capture the daily truths and the desires of African communities. We should also measure things like how happy people are, how they hope for them for the future, right and clean, and clean and respectful their lifetime.
This is not a new idea – years of development What is new to the growing discovery of information and pressure to take these different metrics by composing national policies and priorities.
3. Invest in the alphabetical development education
Suitable education is essential to opening continental capacity to prosperity. However, Africa requires more than the learning skills and training skills – requires a strategy for prices for prices and purposes that make sense, feel, and act truly.
Part of the problem is asleep that people – the fields such as history, books, philosophy, and religious studies – are often taken down or undergraded. But these are the moral paths that increase the moral of behavior, critical reflections, and social responsibility. We need educational models that are not only employees, but everyone – people who can rightly think, work morally, and lead the grain in their communities.

What is Africa contributing to prosperity?
Africa does not expect salvation. Alternatively on the continent, people develop social care, cultivating joy between difficulties, and by compassion, faith, and compassion. This is what the development looks when it is focused on human dignity.
The Africa flourishes to blossom donates a different opinion – one that begins as Africa already has, not that lacking. These are EMIC wishes in good health care. They were formed by programs for traditional African knowledge, cultural, cultural, and spiritual traditions. The pursuit of these goals means to prioritize a lot of intelligence over wealth, community used, and recovery struggles.
The continent is very much to offer: Wisdom, strong public values, and ways to stay patient and live fully even in difficult times. But many of these local people were lost in the Global Science science.
