Abstract

This paper provides an in-depth look at the various factors that influence the World Happiness Index and the extent to which these factors influence the Global Happiness Index. By analyzing several aspects of the study, including factors such as economy, social support, health, freedom, honesty and corruption perception, and generosity, the unique role of these elements in constructing the happiness index is revealed. The study found that there are significant differences in these factors across countries and regions, which directly impacts their overall happiness index rankings. By gaining a deeper understanding of the degree of influence of each factor, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of happiness formation around the world, which provides an important reference for the formulation of happiness-enhancing policies and measures. This research provides insights for promoting global well-being and building happier and better societies.
