Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) conducted a survey of happiness index based on Marital Status. It turns out that unmarried people (singles) are much happier than people who already have a partner.
"The Index of Happiness of unmarried people tends to be higher (71,53) than the population with other marital status," said Head of BPS, Kecuk Suhariyanto, at his office, Jakarta, Tuesday, August 15, 2017.
Viewed from the three dimensions of the Happiness Index compilers, each dimension has a different pattern. The same pattern is found in Dimension of Meaning of Life (Eudaimonia), ie unmarried population has the highest index compared to those with other marital status.
While the Dimensions of Life Satisfaction and Affect Dimension of the highest index is found in married population.
