Application features


On our demo site, we have an app with a number of demographic measures per country. You can find it at http://sense-demo.qlik.com under the name Happiness. It analyzes, among other demographic indexes, the Happy Planet Index (HPI) in a number of countries. You can learn more about this index at www.happyplanetindex.org.

This index measures the sustainable well-being of 151 countries across the globe, focusing not on their abilities to produce material goods and services, but rather on their abilities to produce long, happy, and sustainable lives for the people who live in them. A happy life doesn't have to come at the expense of our environment, and the HPI is used to promote a policy that puts the well-being of people and the planet first.
