Autor: Columbia University
When thinking about increasing happiness, one of the most important aspects is measurement. Is there
a way to accurately measure people?s happiness, both within and across societies? Chapter 2 discusses the
happiness measures currently in use across countries, specifically the Gallup World Poll (GWP), the World
Values Survey (WVS), and the European Social Survey (ESS), and asks whether or not these measures can
provide valid information about quality of life that can be used to guide policy-making. It considers the
questions of the reliability and validity of well-being measures; how happiness can be compared; whether
or not there is a happiness set point; and if happiness is ?serious? enough to be taken seriously. The chapter
argues that regular large-scale collection of happiness data will enable analysis of the impacts of policies on
well-being. It concludes that regular large-scale collection of happiness data will improve macroeconomic
policy-making, and can inform service delivery.
