Introduction

The aim of this project to provide an open-source, user-friendly Shiny App to explore well-being throughout the world. Well-being at country-level is assessed using the concept of happiness which is a measure by which social progress across countries can be compared. This data is sourced from the 2016 World Happiness Report produced by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. At city level, well-being is assessed using the concept of liveability, which is a measure by which the living conditions of cities across the world can be compared. This data is sourced from the Global Liveability Ranking 2015 produced by the Economist Economic Intelligence Unit.
