A government can facilitate the infrastructure, but it is only the people who can decide how to exploit the facility to be happy. Singapore certainly has the infrastructure for its people to achieve happiness.Originally posted by Glen999:so, what is our government doing?
do they strive for economic growth? or strive for a happy, caring society...
sometimes, i think people just get the priority wrong... -

Denmark 1st,
Singapore is ranked 53rd,
Malaysia ranked 17th
and USA 23rd.
Plotting GDP against rank reveals that happiness is an equal-opportunity opportunity. i.e. , the plot reveals that there is an equal spread of rich-to-poor countries among the happiest countries. However, as unhappiness increases, the number of rich countries diminishes.
Meaning that money can buy happiness but not always. Denmark being the happiest is far from being the wealthiest but still wealthy not doubt. Therefore, wealthier countries have a higher opportunity to be happy but not all wealthy countries grab that opportunity. -

Miamidot, i think you don't get what the index trying to tell you. -
The "index" I quoted is not an index as in government or UN sponsored figures. It's a university research result. Have you read the criteria of the "index" I quoted. It includes infrastructure, education facilities, medical facilities.Originally posted by Glen999:infrastructure for its people to achieve happiness?
Miamidot, i think you don't get what the index trying to tell you.
An index never tries to tell you anything beyond the figures it reveals. A good and honest index publisher should decouple herself/himself from intentions of skewing the figures with interpretation. You as the statistical analyst attempts to tell yourself an interpretation from the pattern of the "index".
