      abstract = {By carefully analyzing a comprehensive data base of  questionnaire responses gathered over the past two decades  in the developing regions of Africa, Asia and Latin  America, this book arrives at a series of powerful  conclusions regarding the determinants of well-being and  happiness of all sectors of society. The book explores the  relative importance of health and education, as well as  addressing social and demographic issues surrounding  happiness, and the effect of ageing. Psychological factors  are also discussed, such as the effects of a belief in  social mobility in the less well-off. The authors explore  why income poverty is not the only form of poverty, and  focus on other factors that uplift the well-being and  happiness of the underprivileged.},
