Abstract

In difficult economic conditions, the question inevitably arises: What should the government of the country do to make people at least a little happier?.For several decades, scientists have been studying the category of Happiness. For some, it is understood as an opportunity to realize the intended goals, for others – as a result of their labor efforts. Remembering Kozma Prutkov, you inevitably focus on his words about happiness If you want to be happy, be happy!.However, the economic interpretation of this category depends not only on the desire to be happy, but also on the possibilities of well-being at a particular time.Modern research in the field of happiness economics is aimed more at developing methods for quantifying happiness.
