Global Gross National Happiness & Well-being Index Survey
The First Global GNH / GNW Index Survey
2005 - Present

Dear Visitor,

The Institute invites you to participate in the Global Gross National Happiness and Well-being (GNH / GNW) Index Survey. The survey results will be instrumental in a two-decade research study to develop a global report that will address various socioeconomic issues affecting people's well-being and happiness. The report offers you a unique platform and the chance to share your experience and shape the awareness of your leaders on issues affecting your life and work.

Your feedback will be used to bring attention of national and global policymakers to key issues affecting your life. You may also elaborate on specific issues that are impacting your well-being by using the optional questions and input boxes (listed below). If you allow us, our researchers may follow up with you via email, (or after your permission with a phone or face-to-face interview) to clarify certain answers.

Thank you for your participation in this survey and for your contribution towards advancing the global socioeconomic development.

Sincerely,
Med Jones
Institute 's President
