The link between happiness and health- ESS data analysis
Vansáčová, Ivana ; Lustigová, Michala (advisor) ; Hnilicová, Helena (referee)
Happiness is a hard-to-define abstract concept, under which each person can imagine something different. However, we can agree that happiness is a state of being in which we feel good. This thesis explores the links between happiness and health and other variables that may influence this feeling using individual ESS study data. The aim of the thesis was to find out which of the populations of the studied countries are the happiest and which socioeconomic, demographic and health characteristics are related to feelings of happiness. The population of Denmark was found to be among the happiest of the studied sample. The respondent's highly rated subjective health, the absence of depression and a life alongside a partner are some of the most significant factors related to the feeling of happiness. On the other hand, the respondent's country of origin and their level of education does not have a large effect on those feelings. Key words: happiness, health, population of Europe, ESS study
