ABSTRACT

In this paper, we analyse factors affecting happiness, with special reference to people’s concern for community development. Using a survey data collected from Nepal, we find ; 1) traditional variables like region, gender, age, education, family members, marital status were proved to be insignificant to explain happiness in Nepal. 2) health conditions (per capita income weakly) were found significant. 3) perceptions of community residents on some aspects regarding community development were found to be strongly correlated with the level of happiness. People’s satisfactions with community income level tend to increase happiness, while those with community provision of local roads and electricity tend to be negatively correlated with happiness. The latter finding may be associated with ‘relative deprivation’ in terms of community care and benefits.
