There are some criticisms of happiness index, I remember, but I have forgot what those are. Anyways, these reports are good sources of data. What can be fun to do is to gather similar reports (but on different metrices) from other sources and then compare and contrast them.

BTW, Jeffrey Sachs is one of the development scholars that every ICTD student need to read from.

Hi all,

This report on the ranking of the happiest countries seems interesting.
It has connections to several topics, including mental health,
sustainability, and big data. One of the writers, Jeffery Sachs, is an
influential economist and the writer of the highly cited book 'The end
of poverty'.
