SSC Stenographer - 06 Aug 2025 - Shift 3 • General Awareness • Q33

Which of the following is NOT a direct outcome of using the Happiness Index?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer:
Monitoring population growth

Explanation:
The Happiness Index (such as the World Happiness Report) measures well-being based on factors like income, health, social support, freedom, and trust.

It is used to help governments:

Improve education policies

Strengthen healthcare services

Enhance social welfare systems

However, it is not directly used to monitor population growth, which is measured using demographic tools like census data and fertility rates.

So, population growth monitoring is unrelated to the Happiness Index.
