Taken into account the level of happiness,&nbsp;governments might analyze the socio-economic situation in the country at the macro level.&nbsp;This study examines the economics of happiness and the factors of happiness in Uzbekistan.&nbsp;Ordered logit model is used to estimate factors infl uencing happiness/life satisfaction. The&nbsp;fi ndings demonstrate that there is a positive effect of health and income on happiness/life&nbsp;satisfaction, whilst there is a negative effect of age on happiness/life satisfaction.
