Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The studies by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have found that years with more income inequality correlate with less happiness among those with lower incomes. This means that as income inequality increases, those with lower incomes tend to become less happy. Option A and B are incorrect as the studies have actually shown that countries with greater income inequality have more health and social problems, and higher rates of dissatisfaction and mental illness. Option C is also incorrect as the studies have not specifically looked at U.S. states, but rather at countries as a whole.
