Abstract
El interés en medir la felicidad es compartido por muchas autoridades, académicos y profesionales comprometidos con mejorar el bienestar no monetario de las personas. Organismos internacionales como la OCDE y la ONU apoyan oficialmente la implementación de mediciones de felicidad y bienestar subjetivo. Chile y otros países como Bután, Francia e Inglaterra han seguido estas recomendaciones e incorporado mediciones de la felicidad en sus censos y encuestas de hogares. En esta Clave para Políticas Públicas queremos apoyar las iniciativas de medición de la felicidad en Chile y otros países entregando recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia acerca de cómo medir la felicidad de forma válida, confiable, eficiente y concordante con los estándares internacionales.
Numerous policymakers and scholars share a common interest in measuring happiness. International organizations such as the OECD and the UN officially support the implementation of measures of happiness and subjective well-being. Chile and other countries like Bhutan, France and England have followed these recommendations and incorporated measurements of happiness in their censuses and household surveys. In this policy brief, we provide evidence-based recommendations on how to measure happiness in a way that is valid, reliable, efficient, and consistent with international standards.
