| Britain will introduce a "happiness index" to gauge its population's psychological and environmental wellbeing, AFP reports. Prime Minister David Cameron will ask the Office of National Statistics to prepare methods which will measure the "general wellbeing" despite reservations about the timing. Cameron is expected to put the index at the heart of future policy-making, but is in danger of receiving unwelcome results following the government's recent announcement of deep cuts to the public sector. |
據(jù)法新社報道，英國將設(shè)立“快樂指數(shù)”，要測量人民的心理狀態(tài)和對生活環(huán)境的滿意程度。英國首相卡梅倫要求國家統(tǒng)計局，擬定一套測量人民“總體幸福感”的方法。根據(jù)預(yù)計，卡梅倫今后作決策時，將把這項指數(shù)用作主要的參考資料之一。不過，隨著他所領(lǐng)導的政府最近公布要大幅度削減公共開支，調(diào)查結(jié)果恐怕會令他大失所望。 |
