How to measure happiness?
▪measurement should be based on the conceptual understanding
▪ several issues emerge, most of all - how to define “various aspects of human life” exhaustively? - how to combine cognitive aspects with emotional aspects?

1st issue: how to define “various aspects of
human life”?
▪matter of securing “content validity” in
methodological term ▪ no standard classification up to now
▪ the human life is made of ………..
▪ practical solution is to look for previous research on this subject
▪ Child Well-Being Index made in 1999 by sociologists in Duke University practical solution is to look for previous research on this subject

▪ About Child Well Being Index
- synthesis of subjective well-being approach and objective social
indicator approach in the sense that
- classify major domains of human life through comprehensive literature review on subjective well-being and life satisfaction
- measures objective hard indexes based on life domain classification - seven life domains
- material well-being, health, safety, achievement, participation in community, social relationship, and emotional well-being
- twenty eight indicators

Korean Youth Happiness Index
▪ borrow the classification of life domains from the CWI
▪ difficulty in finding comparable objective indicators due to lack of longitudinal data
▪ decided to develop subjective indicators in each life domains
▪ depli survey and focus group interview
▪ final outcome – forty indicators in six domains
- economic well-being- satisfaction with self- safety- academic achievement- social relationship - emotional/psychological well-being

Methodology
1. Data: National Sample of 9th, 10th, grade students
(approximately 2,000)
2. Fieldworks: done by Survey Research Center(KGSS)
3. weighting strategy: Principle component methods
- transform factor loadings for each item to its
proportions

More on weighing issue...
1. Reliability Check for Multiple Indicators
2. Standardize Raw Scores of Indicators
3. Produce Transformed Variables through Repeated CFA

Concluding Remarks
1. What Does 52 out 100 Mean?
2. Limited Data Considering the Official Age Span of "Youth"
3. Survey in 2007
1) Extended Age Span (7th - 12th) 2) Approximately 6,200 3) Data Cleaning Stage 4) Trend and Cohort Analysis
