An extensive analysis of GNH index.
Abstract
皇冠体育app Gross National Happiness Index is a single number index developed from 33 indicators categorized under nine domains. 皇冠体育app GNH Index is constructed based upon a robust multidimensional methodology known as the Alkire-Foster method. 皇冠体育app GNH Index is decomposable by any demographic characteristic and so is designed to create policy incentives for the government, NGOs and businesses of Bhutan to increase GNH. 皇冠体育app 33 indicators under the nine domains aim to emphasize different aspects of wellbeing and different ways of meeting these underlying human needs. 皇冠体育app 33 indicators are statistically reliable, normatively important, and easily understood by large audiences. 皇冠体育app domains are equally weighted. Within each domain, the objective indicators are given higher weights while the subjective and self-reported indicators are assigned lower weights. This is a detailed exposition of the construction of the GNH Index.
