Can treating health rather than wealth lead to more happiness?
Governments are being told they must measure the happiness of their people. And Dr Richard Layard, who co-edits the World Happiness Report, says the evidence is now there to enable that to be done.

Dr Layard works at the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics.
