DOES STATISTICAL MANAGEMENT OF WELL-BEING INFLUENCE THE STATE OF HAPPINESS IN ROMANIA COMPARED TO EU COUNTRIES?

High levels of quality of life are a defining characteristic of developed countries, where populations experience well-being and report increased satisfaction in specific areas such as health, education, and safety, as well as overall life satisfaction. A comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to well-being can lead to the development of targeted programs and initiatives that directly enhance citizens' lives. Improved access to education and healthcare services can increase life expectancy and happiness, while enhanced safety and income levels can reduce stress and social inequalities. Population well-being is closely linked to productivity and economic stability, as a healthy and happy populace tends to be more productive and contributes more effectively to the national economy.This research aims to analyze the disparities in well-being indicators between Romania and other EU countries by examining factors such as average income, life expectancy, health, happiness, and satisfaction with education. Using statistical analysis of data from global databases such as Eurostat, WHO, and OECD, the study will highlight cultural and socioeconomic inequalities over a four-year period. The goal is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of each national system, supporting the formulation of recommendations to improve public policies and enhance the quality of life for Romanians.
