THE METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE LEVEL OF HAPPINESS OF THE POPULATION IN UZBEKISTAN AND ITS SOCIO-PHILOSOPHICAL ESSENCE

This article analyzes methodological approaches to assessing the level of 
happiness of the population in Uzbekistan, along with their scientific foundations and 
practical significance. The level of happiness is considered not only through economic 
indicators but also as a reflection of a person’s subjective feelings, life satisfaction, social 
relationships, spiritual values, and psychological stability. Existing international happiness 
indexes are examined, and the need for a methodology adapted to national conditions for 
measuring happiness in Uzbekistan is substantiated. The article also elaborates on the 
socio-philosophical essence of the concept of happiness, as well as its role and impact on 
societal development.
