Abstract—Traditionally, a country’s well-being has been measured on economic variables like GDP or unemployment rate. However, no institution, nation or group of people can really be properly understood without also factoring in a number of other elements. One of these key elements, is happiness. What contributes to a country’s happiness? Why are some countries happier than others? Are there any trends or patterns we can discern from the available data? With reference to the World Happiness Report, we designed and developed an interactive dashboard to allow for exploration of historical Happiness Index Scores and its components worldwide. Utilising the visualizations, we showcase some potential insights gathered, enabling a deeper analysis of the events that lead to fluctuations in a country’s happiness.
