CAN'T BUY ME LOVE Being in a loving relationship makes women happier than getting a pay rise, study shows
The Study shows unemployment, depression and anxiety reduced the average person’s happiness by about 0.7.

Doubling a person’s income raised well-being by 0.2 points on a scale of 0-10, while a partner boosted it by 0.6 points.

The London School of Economics examined studies of 200,000 people worldwide to determine how different factors had an impact on wellbeing.

“We can only speculate about why having a partner affects happiness so much. Probably it is because women rated it very highly.”

The LSE’s MALE1 Layard said the Government should shift emphasis from wealth creation to “wellbeing creation”.

Its focus has been on poverty, unemployment, education and health.

He said: “Equally important now are domestic violence, alcoholism, depression, anxiety, alienated youth and exam-mania.”
