Pengaruh Pendapatan Perkapita, Pengangguran dan Pengguna Internet terhadap Indeks Kebahagiaan Negara Asean

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of per capita income, unemployment, and internet users on the happiness index in ASEAN countries during the period 2013-2022. This type of research is quantitative using panel data regression method. The research data was obtained from the official website of World Bank Data and World Happines Index. The results of the analysis show that income per capita has a positive and significant effect on the happiness index, while the unemployment rate has a negative and significant effect. However, internet users have no significant effect on the happiness index. This result shows that the economic aspect is still the main determinant of happiness in the ASEAN region, while digital penetration has not been fully reflected in improving people's welfare. This research is expected to be an input for the government in designing policies to improve welfare and happiness index in the Southeast Asian region.
