In this calculation, subjective well-being correlates most strongly with health (.7), wealth (.6), and access to basic education (.6).<ref>University of Leicester (2006, 14 November).

This is an example of directly measuring [[happiness]]—asking people how happy they are—as an alternative to traditional measures of policy success such as [[gross domestic product|GDP]] or [[gross national product|GNP]]. Some studies suggest that happiness can be measured effectively.<ref>{{cite journalmagazine |last1=Pink |first1=Daniel H. |date=December 2004 |title=The True Measure of Success |journalmagazine=Wired |volume=12 |issue=12 |url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.12/start.html?pg=2 |access-date=25 March 2014}}</ref><ref>Brittan, Samuel (22 November 2001) "[http://www.samuelbrittan.co.uk/spee22_p.html Happiness is not enough] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061229084942/http://www.samuelbrittan.co.uk/spee22_p.html |date=29 December 2006 }}" Templeton Lecture Inst. of Economic Affairs.

This Index, however, is not solely based on directly asking "how people feel", but also on its social and economic development .{{Citation needed|reason=There is no reference given for this claim, and the other references in the lead seem to suggest that this may be incorrect, i.e. that the other factors were not actually used to create the index, but just to perform subsequent analysis |date=March 2019}}.
 
The [[Happy Planet Index]] was used along with data from [[UNESCO]] on access to schooling, from the [[WHO]] on life expectancy, and from the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] on [[Gross domestic product|GDP]] per capita to perform a new analysis with this data to come to a unique and novel set of results.<ref name="Leicester">{{cite press release |title=University of Leicester produces the first-ever 'world map of happiness' |publisher=University of Leicester |date=27 July 2006 |url=http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-07/uol-uol072706.php |access-date=25 March 2014}}</ref> Specifically, the extent of correlation between measures of poverty, health and education, and the variable of happiness.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}
 
== Satisfaction Index==
The subjective well-being index represents the overall satisfaction level as one number.
 
Analysed data to create the index comes from [[UNESCO]], the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]], the [[New Economics Foundation]], the [[World Health Organization|WHO]], the Veenhoven Database, the Latinbarometer, the [[Afrobarometer]], and the [[Human Development Report|UNHDR]]. These sources are analysedanalyzed to create a global projection of subjective well-being: the first world map of happiness.
Whilst collecting data on subjective well-being is not an exact science, the measures used are very reliable in predicting health and welfare outcomes.<ref name="Leicester"/>
