The survey, according to previous Gulf News reports, will be broken down into eight parts, including general living, health, education, social and cultural, infrastructure and environment, government services, living cost and work environment.
So don’t be surprised if a field surveyors knocks on your door, as there will be as many as 300 employees gathering data for the survey until January 15.
The survey is part of the national programme for happiness and positivity that was presented last March by the Minister of State for Happiness, and approved by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
The survey will consist of 100 main questions and 270 sub-questions, which will be carried out by Abu Dhabi Statistics in the capital; Dubai Statistics in Dubai; the Federal Authority for Competitiveness and Statistics in the other five other emirates.
The resulting index will be an average of all segment indexes based on the division of segments.
