Would you care to precisify which part of those two-column 166 A4-pages supports your claim?
- dns_snek 3y agoPage 36, "Figure 2.1: Ranking of Happiness based on a three-year-average 2020–2022"
- lucumo 3y agoThat chart doesn't support your claim that higher household income isn't reflected in happiness scores. Multiple factors are at play in those scores. The report mentions a few, but I couldn't find how much each correlates with the self-reported life evaluation. As a funny BTW, the country used in this thread as a direct comparison, Germany, is indistinguishable from the US in this table.
- dijit 3y agoHis point was that it's not the only factor, and if you read that paper he cited there is a breakdown of exactly what factors contributed to happiness. A social support network was one of the highest ranked, much higher than GDP per capita (the wealth of a nation, which can be used as a proxy for personal income if you have a Gini index to weight it against). Finland comes out well ahead even if you weight it against Gini, and Finnish developers aren't earning more than US folks by a country mile.
