Capabilities, not wealth, are key to happiness in Pakistan.
The study in Pakistan found that people's capabilities, like freedom and efficiency, are the most important factors in determining happiness. By looking at both capabilities and happiness together, researchers gained valuable insights into people's well-being. The study used a special survey to measure mental well-being and compared it with subjective well-being indicators. The results showed that capabilities play a significant role in determining happiness, and ranking policy units based on capabilities and happiness can provide useful guidance for policymakers.
