This project is a comparative analysis of happiness scores and cultural factors between Sub-Saharan Africa and Western Europe. # A Comparative Analysis of Sub Saharan Africa and Western Europe Review my Dashboard I am a data analyst for the United Nations, I would like to present to you a comparative analysis of the role of cultural factors in happiness scores between Sub-Saharan Africa and Western Europe. Happiness is a fundamental human goal, and understanding the factors that contribute to happiness is crucial for policymakers and development practitioners. To address this analysis, I compared the happiness scores of these two regions and examined the relationship between five factors: economic production, social support, healthy life expectancy, corruption, and generosity. My findings shed light on the key determinants of happiness and provide insights into how these factors influence it. I am going to talk about the happiest and unhappiest countries in the world, the distribution of happiness scores, key factors affecting happiness, conclusions and recommendations. First, let’s discuss the happiest and unhappiest countries in the world. I created a bar chart that shows that 7 out of the top 10 happiest countries are located in Western Europe, while 8 out of the bottom 10 unhappiest countries are in Sub-Saharan Africa. Next, let's look at the shape of the distribution in Sub-Saharan Africa. The distribution is a normal distribution, which suggests that the mean and median happiness scores are closer together. In contrast, the shape of the distribution in Western Europe is left-skewed. This skewness suggests that there are a greater number of lower happiness scores in Western Europe, with a few countries having very low happiness scores that bring down the overall mean score. These findings suggest that while Sub-Saharan Africa may have a relatively consistent distribution of happiness scores across the region, Western Europe may have a wider range of happiness scores, with some countries experiencing lower levels of happiness. Now, we’ve analyzed the happiness score, let’s look …
