The World Happiness Report, first published in 2012, uses Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, family, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and absence of government corruption as parameters to measure happiness of citizens across the world. By reflecting the impact of big events and government policies on the happiness of populations, the report allows policymakers and researchers to evaluate past policies and to make informed future political decisions.We plan to investigate:
- How are parameters such as GDP per capita and life expectancy related to happiness scores of citizens in a particular country? Which parameters included in the Report are statistically significant among all countries?
- Do developed countries overall have a different set of statistically significant parameters than developing countries?
- Is there any country experiencing significant increase/decrease in happiness score over the duration of the Report, and which parameters are the most significant in affecting the changes?
