Abstract
This paper considers some of the ways in which income growth, socio-economic equality, and healthy inclusion interact to determine levels of satisfaction and happiness in society. Some main points of consideration are: that the case of economic growth by itself as a secure route to human happiness is relatively weak; equality and inclusiveness are contributors to happiness, hence, how are these factored in? Is there a relationship between inclusiveness to the rate and pattern of economic growth?
