About My Dashboard

  • Economic wealth matters, but only to a certain point; after that, social, political, and cultural factors become more critical in influencing happiness.

  • Social equality and strong support systems (as seen in Nordic countries) may drive higher happiness, even for countries that are not the wealthiest.

  • Some outliers (like the U.S.) show that higher GDP does not always guarantee higher happiness, pointing to the importance of non-economic factors.

These trends suggest that while GDP is a factor in overall happiness, it’s not the only one, and countries can achieve high happiness with modest economic resources if other factors (social support, governance, environmental quality) are favorable.
