What is World Happiness Report?

The World Happiness Report is a publication of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network, which collects data from the Gallup World Poll to offer a comprehensive survey of global happiness levels. Widely respected, the report is used by policymakers, researchers, and individuals to gain insights into the factors that contribute to happiness and well-being.

How is happiness actually measured?

The World Happiness Report relies on data gathered through the Gallup World Poll, which asks people in various countries to rate their own lives on a scale from 0 to 10. These self-reported ratings are used to calculate the average life satisfaction score for each country. However, the report goes beyond just life satisfaction and considers other factors that can impact happiness such as social support, freedom of choice, generosity, perceptions of corruption, and GDP. Experts in the field of happiness and well-being analyze this data to provide insights and recommendations based on their findings.
