GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS

Bhutan is known famously as the first country in the world to measure progress based on happiness. GNH is used as a tool to measure the country’s development instead of Gross National Product (GNP). The happiness of the Bhutanese is more important than material growth and there should be a balance between the two. A GNH Commission was created to take an annual measure of how the people fare. The poll is based on an index of nine domains. Living standards, education, health, cultural diversity and resilience, community vitality, time use, psychological wellbeing, ecological diversity, and good governess are the nine domains that are taken into account. According to the GNH Commission, 81.5% of the population of Bhutan is deeply happy. The Commission is still working on ways to achieve total happiness for 100% of Bhutanese.
