I built this dataset to answer one big question: Can people in developing regions be happier without being rich? I combined data from trusted global reports to compare happiness, education, and money in 14 South Asian and Middle Eastern countries.

What’s Inside?

• Happiness Scores (0–10 scale from the 2023 World Happiness Report)
• Education Stats: Literacy rates, school enrollment (offline), and % of people using online learning (UNESCO + government surveys)
• Money Metrics: GDP per person, average income, unemployment, and poverty rates (World Bank)
• Social Support: How much people feel helped by friends/family

Why These Countries?

• Places like India and Bangladesh have booming online education but low incomes.
• Gulf nations like Qatar and UAE are rich but score lower on social freedom.
• Afghanistan and Lebanon show how wars and crises crush happiness.

Cool Things You Can Do

1. Compare “happy poor” vs. “unhappy rich” countries:
   • Nepal (happiness = 5.269 | GDP = $1,380) vs. Saudi Arabia (happiness = 6.494 | GDP = $24,500)
2. Test if online education beats traditional schools:
   • UAE has 38.2% online learning access vs. Pakistan’s 11.8%
3. Find hidden patterns: Why does Sri Lanka have 92.3% literacy but high poverty (25.6%)?

Data Sources

• Happiness Scores: World Happiness Report 2023
• Education & Economy: World Bank and UNESCO (2023 estimates)
• Missing Data: Afghanistan’s GDP/income stats are blank due to Taliban rule.

Who Should Use This?

• Teachers studying education’s role in happiness
• Economists exploring “money vs. joy” debates
• Students learning data analysis with real-world problems

Pro Tip: Use maps to compare regions! Saudi Arabia’s happiness (6.494) is double Afghanistan’s (1.859).

English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners in Saudi Arabia, particularly at the CEFR A1-A2 level, often face challenges such as low motivation and limited development of receptive skills like listening and reading. Despite the potential of technology in education, limited research has explored the effectiveness of gamified and adaptive learning tools in the Saudi preparatory-year context. This study investigates the impact of Duolingo and Read Theory on improving motivation and receptive skill development (reading and listening) among Saudi EFL students at the CEFR A1-A2 levels. The hypothesis suggests that these platforms will significantly enhance motivation and skill development. Conducted during Semester 1, 2024, across four institutes with 103 students, data were collected using placement tests, pre- and post-semester motivation surveys, student results at the end of the semester, and teacher reflective journals. Placement tests revealed improvements in reading (t=7.92, p
