“…These studies encompassed general population happiness levels (Aryogi and Wulansari 2016;Landiyanto et al 2011;Sohn 2013;Sujarwoto et al 2017) and specific demographic segments (Anna et al 2019 on fishermen;Sollis et al 2023 on native-immigrant). Regional studies (Firmansyah et al 2017;Nandini and Afiatno 2020) shed light on context-specific happiness factors. Specific topics like religiosity (Kurniawati and Pierewan 2020), height (Sohn 2014), decentralization (Sujarwoto and Tampubolon 2015), and income inequality (Furwanti et al 2021) were examined, providing valuable insights.…”

This study delves into the dynamics shaping happiness levels in Indonesia before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically emphasizing gender and residence-type disparities. Using data from the 2017 and 2021 Happiness Level Measurement Survey, it offers insights into how different population segments were affected. The analysis employs a multilevel mixed-effects ordered logistic model, considering individuals nested within provinces, and measures pandemic severity using positive COVID-19 cases per 100,000 residents. This study evaluates pandemic-related happiness shifts using nationwide cross-sectional survey data from two timeframes. It derives substantial statistical strength from data involving 137,000+ respondents gathered through comprehensive face-to-face interviews. It mitigates recall bias by capturing happiness at two distinct time points, avoiding retrospective measures. The study examines and validates four research questions. First, higher COVID-19 cases in provinces correlate with lower happiness. Second, though women were happier than men, the pandemic reduced this gender-based gap. Third, urban residents were generally happier than rural residents, but the pandemic narrowed this difference. All the estimates exhibit statistical significance at the 1 percent level. Finally, while provincial poverty showed minimal happiness impact, a negative association between unequal per capita expenditure and happiness emerged, providing partial backing for investigating the role of macroeconomic conditions. This study reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic altered happiness dynamics in Indonesia, narrowing gender and residence-based gaps. It also emphasizes the role of socioeconomic factors, particularly unequal per capita expenditure, in influencing individual happiness, highlighting implications for targeted policy interventions.

These basic theories have provided criteria for the direction of happiness measurement (Nandini & Afiatno, 2020). In order to effectively measure happiness, it is essential to explore how these theories can be translated into measurable indicators and dimensions.…”

Happiness is undeniably significant for each individual, and it concerns a wide range of aspects of life. Furthermore, happiness can promote features such as health, workplace experience, and family relationships. In general, it contributes to the well-being of the world. In response to the importance of happiness, scholars have persisted to find the true meaning of happiness for thousands of years, and they are dedicated to further interpreting and conceptualizing the term. Throughout the course of time, researchers have developed a variety of happiness measurement tools. The tools serve to provide the opportunity for further study of happiness in a perceptible manner. Even so, questions have been asked on whether happiness can be measured. This essay aligns with the statement that happiness is measurable, and the paper evaluates some of the current measurement tools. Due to the ambiguity and subjectivity of happiness, it can be influenced by many factors. The paper has also recognized certain limitations that exist within these instruments. In addition, this essay provides suggestions on how to enhance and improve future measurement tools for happiness.

“…Temuan ini berarti tidak ada perbedaan diantara orang yang berkerja pada kepuasan hidup yang dilaporkan, tetapi orang yang puas dengan pekerjaannya akan meningkatkan kepuasan hidupnya. Nandini and Afiatno (2020), mencatat bahwa kepuasan kerja berpengaruh positif terhadap kesejahteraan subjektif yang diukur dengan kebahagiaan. Temuan ini segaris dengan sebagian besar hasil penelitian sebelumnya (Frey & Stutzer, 2018).…”

“…Temuan ini bermakna bahwa kesejahteraan subjektif tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh kondisi internal, namun juga kondisi eksternal seperti kepercayaan sosial juga mempengaruhinya. Integasi sosial merupakan aspek diluar individu yang berpengaruh pada kebahagiaan (Nandini & Afiatno, 2020). Temuan ini melihat pentingnya peran integrasi sosial dalam menentukan kesejahteraan subjektif.…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memeriksa faktor-faktor dalam konteks sosial, ekonomi dan kesehatan yang memprediksi kesejahteraan subjektif di Indonesia. Dengan menerapkan desain penelitian potong lintang, penelitian ini menggunakan data dari Indonesia Family Life Survey dengan mengambil responden sebanyak 21,875 individu. Hasil analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa faktor sosial ekonomi yang didalamnya mencakup; pendidikan, kepuasan kerja, kondisi kesehatan, kepercayaan sosial, dan religiusitas berkontribusi pada kesejahteraan subjektif, sedangkan status pekerjaan tidak berpengaruh signifikan.
