The poll gathers responses from over 100,000 people from all around the world. People in different countries rank their happiness by imagining a ladder with 10 steps. The first and lowest step of the ladder represents the worst of the worst a person's life can be. The tenth and highest step represents a person's best life. Researchers then ask people which step they believe they're on.

Så deres report bygger ikke på hvordan folk vil rangere deres lykke siger du, hvad vil du så kalde dette udsnit om, hvordan de måler folks lykke?

De ting du nævner, er hvad de nævner i deres report, som de anser for at påvirke folks lykke, ud fra de svar de får.

World Happiness Report: What factors impact happiness? SDSN lists six factors that can explain the different levels of happiness. Social Support- This is the best predictor of happiness. If people feel like they have at least one person they can reach out to when they're in need, they are more likely to feel secure. GDP per capita- This is how much a country produces divided by its population. A healthy life expectancy- The researchers look at the physical and mental health of a country's population. Freedom to make life choices- This plays a key role in how happy one feels. Generosity- This factor looks at how charitable a country's people are. Perception of Corruption- How corrupt are a country's government and business policies? This factor looks at both and researchers use what they find to estimate happiness levels.

Altså det er ikke udfra de ting, at de måler det, de giver bare 6 faktorer som KAN påvirke det forskellige niveau af lykke, som ses i statistikken, tror du har misforstået noget, hvis du tror de rangere lande udfra de 6 punkter.
