World Happiness Dashboard

Welcome to the World Happiness Dashboard! This tool offers insights into the World Happiness Dataset (2020-2024), helping you explore factors that influence happiness across different countries. Filter by continent or specific happiness criteria to discover key insights, compare nations, and identify potential destinations for immigration based on your priorities.

Motivation

For those looking to immigrate to new countries, it can be time-consuming to search up statistics about new countries and make decisions on which countries look most promising to settle in. Our dashboard provides an overview of countries and continents on economical, political factors that contribute to life quality and satisfaction. Additionally, an overall "Happiness Score" is provided for each country. You can apply filtering criteria such as GDP, Perception of Corruption or other factors that matter to you and see how countries compare to each other over the past 5 years.
