Abstract

On average, Belgians with a decent income, good health, a relationship and work are happier than others. So couldn’t we simply use reported happiness as an indicator for steering or evaluating policy? If all citizens want to be happy, it would be very easy to make political decisions using an overall happiness score as a guiding policy indicator.
