How do we measure happiness? Focusing on subjective measures as a proxy for        welfare and well-being, this book finds ways to do that. Subjective measures have        been used by psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, and, more recently,        economists to answer a variety of scientifically and politically relevant questions.          Van Praag, a pioneer in this field since 1971, and Ferrer-i-Carbonell present in        this book a generally applicable methodology for the analysis of        subjectivesatisfaction.Drawing on a range of surveys on people's satisfaction with        their jobs, income, housing, marriages, and government policy, among other areas of        life, this book shows how satisfaction with life "e;as a whole"e; is an aggregate of        these domain satisfactions. Using German, British, Dutch, and Russian data, the        authors cover a wide range of topics. This groundbreaking book presents a new and        fruitful methodology that constitutes a welcome addition to the social sciences. The        paperback edition has beenrevised to bring the literature review up-to-date and the        chapter on poverty has been revised and extended to take account of new        research.
