QUALITY OF LIFE ECONOMICS (QLE)
The Total Happiness Index
PROJECT SUMMARY & RESEARCH PROPOSAL · BETA 0.1
1. Executive Summary
Quality of Life Economics (QLE) is a proposed economic research framework designed to measure how successfully societies convert economic resources into widespread, sustainable human well-being.
Its central premise is straightforward:
GDP measures economic production. It does not necessarily measure how well people are living.
A country can experience substantial economic growth while its population struggles with rising living costs, wealth inequality, unaffordable housing, concentrated ownership, limited economic mobility and armed conflict.
QLE seeks to measure these competing forces through a new analytical framework called the Total Happiness Index (THI).
The ultimate ambition is to create a predictive tool that economists, policymakers, researchers, universities and citizens can use to evaluate economic conditions and investigate policies that could improve collective well-being.
2. The Founder's Original Concept
The original proposed equation expresses economic prosperity as a function of several compounding economic and social pressures:
THI=Income per GDPInflation×Wealth Disparity×War Exposure×Ownership ConcentrationTHI=Inflation×Wealth Disparity×War Exposure×Ownership ConcentrationIncome per GDP
The underlying idea is that prosperity should be evaluated relative to the economic and social forces that prevent people from enjoying it.
The model retains five foundational dimensions:
- Income and economic prosperity.
- Inflation and purchasing power.
- Wealth disparity.
- Percentage of years affected by war during the previous decade.
- Concentration of real estate, business and commodity ownership.
3. Additional Research Dimensions
To make the framework more comprehensive, four additional considerations have been incorporated.
- Economic mobility: Whether people can improve their economic circumstances regardless of their starting position.
- Housing affordability: Whether ordinary households can access secure, affordable housing.
- Health and longevity: Whether economic conditions translate into longer, healthier lives.
- Social well-being: Whether people experience security, trust, life satisfaction and meaningful opportunity.
These additions recognize that income alone cannot adequately describe human prosperity.
4. Three Principal Measurements
QLE will produce three complementary analytical outputs.
Measurement
Principal question
Economic Prosperity
How much wealth and income does society generate?
Economic Fairness
How broadly are wealth, assets and opportunities distributed?
Total Happiness
How successfully does society translate prosperity into human well-being?
These measurements should remain independently visible rather than being collapsed into one ranking.
5. Predictive Economics Platform
The proposed QLE Analytics application will allow researchers to:
- Compare countries and economic systems.
- Examine historical economic performance.
- Adjust inflation, income and inequality assumptions.
- Model alternative ownership distributions.
- Investigate the economic effects of conflict.
- Explore housing affordability and economic mobility.
- Compare alternative policy scenarios.
- Generate one-, five- and ten-year projections.
- Export results for further economic research.
The application will eventually incorporate historical datasets and statistically trained predictive models.
6. Scientific Foundation and Data Sources
The project will draw on established international research and statistical sources, including:
- World Bank — economic development and income statistics.
- International Monetary Fund — macroeconomic and inflation data.
- OECD — household wealth, distribution and well-being.
- World Inequality Database — wealth and income concentration.
- Uppsala Conflict Data Program — armed conflict data.
- World Happiness Report — subjective life satisfaction.
The research must distinguish observed statistics, estimated values and hypothetical scenarios.
Predictive performance must be tested against historical observations, with uncertainty reported transparently.
7. Research Objectives
The long-term project will investigate several important questions:
- Can countries increase happiness without proportionately increasing GDP?
- Does more widely distributed ownership correspond with better population well-being?
- How strongly do housing costs influence economic satisfaction?
- Does wealth concentration undermine economic mobility?
- What are the long-term economic consequences of armed conflict?
- Which combinations of economic policies are associated with better human outcomes?
A particularly important hypothesis is that the distribution of economic prosperity may be as consequential as the total amount of prosperity generated.
This is a proposition to investigate, not an established conclusion.

9. Mission Statement
QUALITY OF LIFE ECONOMICS
Measuring what matters.
The purpose of economic activity should ultimately be to improve human lives.
QLE seeks to challenge the assumption that economic growth, measured in isolation, is sufficient evidence of societal progress.
By examining prosperity, distribution, ownership, opportunity, stability and happiness together, we aim to develop a more complete understanding of what makes economies successful.
A better economy should mean a better life for more people.
10. The Ultimate Vision
QLE is intended to become an independently reproducible international economic research platform.
Its ambition is to provide a common framework through which economists and policymakers can evaluate not simply how much wealth a country produces, but how effectively that wealth supports the people who live there.
It should encourage evidence-based policymaking, broader economic participation, more equitable ownership opportunities and sustainable improvements in human well-being.
The fundamental question behind the entire project is:
What if the real measure of a successful economy were not how much wealth it accumulates, but how much human happiness and opportunity it creates?
Project status: Conceptual framework established; interactive prototype specified; empirical validation and historical data integration remain outstanding.
Proposed project name: Quality of Life Economics — The Total Happiness Index (QLE-THI).
