Outline of Final Research Achievements

Happiness is determined by both macro-level factors such as GDP, as well as micro-level factors such as demographics and personal achievements. In this project, we used data from many countries including Japan to identify the determinants of happiness in the following four categories: International comparison of happiness, happiness in Japan, work and happiness, and Covid-19 and happiness. Our results clearly show that income inequality and social insurance system are significant sources of happiness at the macro-level. Our micro-level studies focused on happiness in the area of work in Japan and uncovered factors which lower happiness and productivity. We propose a cyclical framework which shows that high happiness leads to high productivity which leads to less work hours which leads to higher happiness.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

幸福の追求は，人間の行動を研究する上での基本的かつ普遍的な条件である。近年，データ・分析手法の進化により，幸福をより科学的に，より体系的に研究できるようになってきた。このプロジェクトでは，これまでの幸福に関する研究成果を踏まえ，幸福の決定要因をミクロとマクロの両面から，国際データまた日本のデータを用いて分析した。研究結果は，幸せを決定するメカニズムの解明に貢献し，経済的ウェルビーイングと主観的ウェルビーイングの複雑な関連性の理解を深めた。
