So what is it that makes people happy?

那么，什么会让人觉得幸福呢？

Economists have long understood the importance of going beyond economic data to gauge the true well-being of a society. Gross Domestic Product alone cannot alone measure quality of life. The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has come up with a tool to try to capture the intangible elements that make for a happy life.

长久以来，经济学家都知道不能局限于经济数据，要去衡量社会真正的幸福水平。仅凭国内生产总值是不能反映生活质量的。经济合作与发展组织（OECD，以下简称经合组织）巴黎分部正试图找出使人们生活幸福的无形因素。

The Better Life Index was launched three years ago. Now, with more than 4 million respondents in 180 countries, it is beginning to paint a picture of what people are looking for.

“幸福指数”在三年前开始施行。基于来自180个国家300多万名受调查者，它在绘制一幅关于人们真正在追求什么的蓝图。

Japanese users worry most about safety — understandable in the wake of the Fukoshima nuclear accident. Latin Americans strive for better education. The Better Life Index allows respondents to go online and rank 11 well-being indicators from income to environment, in order of importance to them, and then see how their country actually stacks up.
