The Happiness Policy Screening tool is offered as a means for taking action in the happiness movement. All are invited to use it at any level when making a decision about a policy, program, or project. It can be used to identify issues, raise awareness about the impacts of a decision, or help in making a decision. It can be used at any level, from a small neighborhood group to local or regional government.
First published in 2014 as part of a peer reviewed essay Happiness in Public Policy (http://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/jsc/vol6/iss1/5/) The policy-screening tool provides 26 factors in the domains of happiness. Policies or projects are rated by the factors that are relevant. Not all factors in the tool will necessarily be relevant. Decision-makers choose which factors to use. Decision-makers may develop other factors not included in the tool. Origins
Kunzang Lhamu, Chief Research Officer of the GNH Commission in Bhutan, worked with the Happiness Alliance, a small nonprofit based in the US to create a hybrid happiness policy screening tool for adaptation and adaption by local governments and agencies in the United States.
Recognition of the role local public health departments play has risen sharply since 2018, according to a national poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies for the de Beaumont Foundation. 73 percent of voters say public health departments play an important role in making communities healthy, compared with 56 percent in 2018. And 61 percent say they'd be willing to pay more in state and local taxes to provide funding for public health services.

Presentation providing insights from the recently published paper, "Gender in climate change, agriculture, and natural resource policies: insights from East Africa," co-authored by Edidah L. Ampaire, Mariola Acosta, Sofia Huyer, Ritah Kigonya, Perez Muchunguzi, Rebecca Muna, and Laurence Jassogne.
Paper abstract: "Gender mainstreaming was acknowledged as an indispensable strategy for achieving gender equality at the 1995 Beijing Platform for Action. Since then, governments have made substantial efforts in developing gender-responsive policies and implementation strategies. The advent of climate change and its effects, which have continued to impact rural livelihoods and especially food security, demands that gender mainstreaming efforts are accelerated. Effective gender mainstreaming requires that gender is sufficiently integrated in policies, development plans, and implementation strategies, supported by budgetary allocations. This study analyzes the extent of gender integration in agricultural and natural resource policies in Uganda and Tanzania, and how gender is budgeted for in implementation plans at district and lower governance levels. A total of 155 policy documents, development plans, and annual action plans from national, district, and sub-county/ward levels were reviewed. In addition, district and sub-county budgets for four consecutive financial years from 2012/2013 to 2015/2016 were analyzed for gender allocations. Results show that whereas there is increasing gender responsiveness in both countries, (i) gender issues are still interpreted as “women issues,” (ii) there is disharmony in gender mainstreaming across governance levels, (iii) budgeting for gender is not yet fully embraced by governments, (iii) allocations to gender at sub-national level remain inconsistently low with sharp differences between estimated and actual budgets, and (iv) gender activities do not address any structural inequalities. We propose approaches that increase capacity to develop and execute gender-responsive policies, implementation plans, and budgets."

Slides for the ISQOLS webinar featuring John C. Havens, author of Heartificial Intelligence, and presenter at the ISQOLS 2017 conference, and Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems.
The algorithms powering autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence are driving the future of society. Imbued within our cars, companion robots and smart cities, we are becoming a culture of code. The risks and benefits regarding these technologies are largely evaluated through the lens of GDP-focused, exponential growth.
But when robots and algorithms diminish individual agency by making decisions on our behalf, when the liability of their actions becomes too complex to assess or when Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming our jobs, we must question if this will increase or decrease our well-being. Humans can’t thrive unless metrics prioritizing positive mental and emotional health are elevated as key indicators of a flourishing society.
Heartificial Intelligence - the Intersection of Emerging Technology Beyond GDP features John C. Havens, Executive Director of The IEEE Global Initiative for Ethical Considerations in Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems who will describe initial efforts to introduce Beyond GDP metrics into the AI community in an effort to prioritize human wellbeing for the creation and proliferation of these technologies. The goal of The IEEE Global Initiative's work is to invite cross-disciplinary research between technologists, engineers, and the Wellbeing / Happiness community to advance AI and robotics in a way that redefines innovation with a focus on flourishing versus exponential growth.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Model Happiness Policy Screening Tool

Model Happiness Policy Screening Tool
The Happiness Policy Screening tool is offered as a means for taking action in the happiness
movement. All are invited to use it at any level when making a decision about a policy,
program, or project. It can be used to identify issues, raise awareness about the impacts of a
decision, or help in making a decision. It can be used at any level, from a small neighborhood
group to local or regional government.
Factors
The policy-screening tool provides 26 factors in the domains of happiness. Policies or projects
are rated by the factors that are relevant. Not all factors in the tool will necessarily be
relevant. Decision-makers choose which factors to use. Decision-makers may develop other
factors not included in the tool.
It is important that the decision-makers who choose the factors are knowledgeable about the
subject matter and circumstances of a project or policy. If the same decision-makers rate the
policy or project, they should be qualified to evaluate the project or policy and its impacts,
respected by the community, and neutral to the outcome.
Scores
Policies and projects are evaluated on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 = negative impact, 2 = an
unknown impact, 3 = little or no impact, and 4 = positive impact. The tally of all the scores is
the final score. This sum is compared to the total possible points. For example, a positive
score is four times the number of factors. A neutral score is three times the number of
factors. If the tally is anything less than the neutral score, it is not recommended. For
example, a policy that is screened with three factors would need a 12 (three factors times
four high scores) to receive a positive score, and nine (three factors times three little or no
impact scores) to receive a neutral score. If the policy were to score three, three, and two for
three factors used, the tally would be eight and it would not be recommended.
