Rather than nearly useless (and often detrimental) GDP, this is the kind of goal setting we need to be prioritizing and tracking in each country (for all age groups). Happiness, health, and achievement trends among a population can be used to verify-- with far less doubt and room for obfuscation by powerful and greedy people-- if governments are doing their job well over time, as data accumulates.
I’m somewhat curious about the selection of countries here. It mostly looks like developed countries in Europe, plus the US, Canada and Australia, which often get lumped in with that due to their colonial history, and Japan and South Korea, which are similarly well off these days and have close relations with some of the countries previously listed, but Chile is a bit of an outlier. What makes it possible to get data from Chile, but not any other countries in south or central America?
It says “high income countries,” which presumably means GDP. On a quick search, I found Uruguay and Guyana are highest per capita but Chile with its larger population and size is far higher in total GDP.
Dutch children: Depressed, fit and lonely.
Edit: my bad, I read it wrong
You’ve read it wrong, that would be Japan
How do you get that from this data? Netherlands is like, absolutely smashing these charts?
