World's most stressed countries

[ɹǝuuᴉM]

Stress, imo, is a state of mind that is not directly attributable to the factors measured in this methodology.

Are bushmen more stressed than air traffic controllers for example? You can live a happy life without a cent to your name.

Carrying on with bushmen vs ATC (note I strongly suspect the average bushmen is happier than many of us), corruption doesn't affect one more than the other and income inequality, GDP per capita, unemployment favours the ATC, as does life expectancy probably given one has better access to modern medicine.

The only factors in that list that could be favouring bushmen is homicide rates (when you literally live in the middle of nowhere with nothing to your name odds are nobody wants to kill you) and urban air pollution, given that they don't live in urban areas and experience much less air pollution.

Yet I'll maintain bushmen are less stressed, so either I am entirely wrong or this methodology is.

Comparison fail! Technically bushman live in a different world. A somewhat more relevant comparison will be to look at South Africa vs the average nation which took part in the 2nd world war? Judging by the number killings per capita, SA comes out on top Do the calculations and and see for yourself! And lastly - who should we believe: Your logic or Bloomberg?

You should believe sound logic, not "my" logic", nor "Bloomberg" logic, but hey if you prefer to disengage your brain and just be told what to think I know of a political party that is a perfect fit for you ...

Pray tell what on earth would the point be of me doing the calculations myself when I question the methodology itself? The point is to measure stress they should be using different calculations, or as others have pointed out, to explain what they are measuring they should use a different term than stress.

PS: before you even mentioned it I've already listed 2 combatants of WW2 that rank as less stressed on that list than ZA yet common sense tells you it is impossible that that is the case (see post #15)
