The World Happiness Conference on “Decoding World Happiness Dynamics: Evolution to Revolution” aims to investigate the multidimensional aspects of happiness from both scientific and practical vantage points tracing from ancient to modern era. The principal objective is to promote a deeper intellectual capacity of happiness and well-being and to investigate ways to apply this knowledge to improve individual and societal happiness.
Recent technological advances have unwrapped new possibilities for reliably measuring and explaining the happiness of people around the world. For example, machine learning techniques now allow researchers to analyze text quickly by looking for certain patterns. Using this method on social media content makes it possible to record and classify people’s expressed feelings, providing a real-time metric of how wellbeing is changing (WHR, 2022). In a separate development, new advances in genetics can help to explore the role of genes in explaining differences in wellbeing. Twin studies show that 30-40% of differences in happiness between people are linked to genetic factors, while the remaining differences are determined entirely by environment. Researchers are working on creating ‘polygenic’ scores for happiness which aim to group together the genes that determine someone’s predisposition to be happy. Studies to improve our understanding of the interaction between our genetic make-up and the environment in which we live are also underway. The increased importance that people assign to happiness has also led to governments around the world turning their focus to this issue. Happiness is now recorded on a regular basis in almost all countries. Empirical methods have been developed to help policy-makers to evaluate how much additional wellbeing any new policy will generate for a given economic cost needed to implement it. In addition, several governments are proposing the use of wellbeing as a criterion to choose between different policies.
Growing inequality, climate change, emerging infectious diseases and the challenges posed by AI and automation are some of the main challenges we face. But all of these problems are also inextricably interconnected with the happiness of the people affected by them. To solve the complex economic and social challenges facing us, governments around the world should ensure happiness is a central factor within policy design.
The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and individuals from throughout the world interested in the field of happiness to share knowledge, discuss the latest findings in happiness research with respect to multidisciplinary perspectives, and exchange insights.
