Can you explain what makes this “Ipsos” report different than the “World Happiness Report” ? I wanna steal this graphic for later uses if I can understand how to defend it.
Do you think that the Ipsos report is a better measure of happiness?
I’m a bit surprised how Mexico and Brazil show high levels of happiness. But I do understand that (from what I know) it seems like family connections have higher importance in these countries so there is a bigger social safety net.
The report from 2023 focused on happiness, while 2024 focuses on whether people feel the country is moving in the right direction or not. They’re not measuring exactly the same thing, but both things are obviously related. I’m not sure how good their methodology is, and how representative their sample is. It is worth noting that happiness is an inherently subjective thing that depends on tons of factors such as culture, expectations, etc. So, it’s possible for people in a country that’s relatively poor to feel happy because their needs and expectations are met.
Weird how they decided not to poll China given these were the results from last year

It was also a bit of an issue in the occupied puppet state of “South Korea”, where most people are NOT happy with their capitalist hellscape.
Indeed, it’s going to be kind of funny if things start looking up in DPRK thanks to trade with Russia while they keep getting worse in occupied Korea.

I’m talking about the World Happiness Report

not sure how they compare in terms of quality
