Figure 2 1: Country Rankings by Life Evaluations in 2021-2023
Notes
Tabs 1 & 2: The 95% confidence interval is shown in the grey-shaded area at the end of each life evaluation bar
Tab 2: The sub-bars have no impact on the total score reported for each country Instead, they are a way of explaining the implications of the model estimated in Table 2 1 The few countries that have empty bars do not have sufficient information for the calculation of portions explained by individual factors These countries still have their overall scores, though, which are based entirely on survey responses, and are independent of our efforts to explore the underlying support factors of happiness
