According to neoclassical economics, happiness is related to increasing prosperity, but today financial gain as the sole source of happiness is demised by many factors such as education, health, and means of transportation. An emotional state of happiness can disturb health outcomes. This study aimed to study happiness among Ghanaian men and their socioeconomic predictors. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used relying on data from Ghana Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017/18. Chi-square for two variables analysis and binary logistics for multiple variables analysis. The national prevalence of estimated happiness among men recorded in this current study was 79.8% and overall estimated unhappiness was 20.2%. And predictors of happiness were age, higher educational attainment, regional association, ethnicity, body functional status, health insurance status, alcohol, and cigarette use. Over one-five Ghanaian men are unhappy. That is the issue of happiness among Ghanaian men is a major issue and there is the need for policy enforcement towards education promotion, poverty reduction, and minimizing the use of a substance such as alcohol and cigarette.
