Description

Measuring quality of life is a fundamental part of assessing how societies progress. As traditional metrics like Gross Domestic Product (GDP) face increasing scrutiny, new ways to monitor societal health are becoming necessary for effective policy-making. This book explores the growing importance of subjective well-being and provides a fresh perspective on how we measure human happiness. By analyzing time-use patterns, this work offers a deeper understanding of how the organization of time relates to personal well-being. It examines the shift toward self-reported measures, a trend highlighted by initiatives such as the UK ONS Happiness Index. This text is an essential resource for those studying economics, labor, and the social factors that define modern quality of life.
