Mutlu bireylerle mutlu toplumlar oluşturmak mümkündür. Bu noktadan hareketle, bireylerin mutluluk düzeylerini etkileyen faktörlerin neler olduğunu tespit etmek ve onları daha mutlu kılmak için neler yapılabilir sorusuna aranılan cevap, bu çalışmanın motivasyon kaynağını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmanın veri seti Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu aracılığıyla elde edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, sosyodemografik, ekonomik, bireysel ve çevresel göstergelerin bireylerin mutluluk düzeyleri üzerinde etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma aracılığıyla, politika yapıcı ve karar vericilere, bireylerin mutluluk düzeyini arttırmaya yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
