The higher the GDP, the more “successful” a country is assumed to be. But in a world facing rising inequality, climate change, mental health crises, and social fragmentation, it's becoming increasingly clear that economic growth alone is not a sufficient indicator of real human progress. This realization has sparked global interest in alternative metrics—one of the most promising being the Sustainable Happiness Index (SHI) . What Is the Sustainable Happiness Index? The Sustainable Happiness Index is a holistic framework that redefines what it means to succeed—shifting the focus from short-term economic growth to long-term human well-being, environmental balance, and social equity. Unlike GDP, which measures output, SHI captures the quality of life in a sustainable context, integrating factor...
