Dataset: World Happiness Report 2024

Source URL: World Happiness Report 2024 Data

Description

This dataset comes from the World Happiness Report 2024, which ranks countries based on their citizens’ self-reported well-being.
The primary measure is the Ladder score (happiness index), which is explained by six key factors: GDP per capita, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom of choice, generosity, and perceptions of corruption. The dataset also includes confidence intervals and a residual factor.

The goal of using this dataset in our visualization project is to explore how different countries compare in terms of happiness and which factors contribute the most to their scores.
