National Happiness Index

The National Happiness Index measures the overall well-being and life satisfaction of a country's residents. It considers factors like income, health, education, social connections, safety, and environmental quality to gauge how people feel about their lives. Unlike economic indicators that focus on wealth or production, this index emphasizes quality of life and personal fulfillment. Governments use it to assess how well they are meeting citizens' needs and to guide policies aimed at improving societal well-being. In essence, it provides a comprehensive picture of a nation's overall happiness and social health.
