Example Policy 1: UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 includes policy regarding psychological well being. SDG Goal 3.4 is to reduce by one-third premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases (which include mental health) through prevention and treatment, and promote the importance of mental health and well being by 2030.
Example Policy 2: The non-profit Mental Health Association of New York City launched a citywide mental health program on October 2016 in partnership with the city that allows New Yorkers to call counselors 24 hours a day for free. By covering costs and providing resources, people have a chance to address mental health problems and learn to manage and enhance their mental health, reducing overall health costs in the long run.

Conclusion While different rankings use varying methods to measure standard of living, similarities can be seen as shown through the overall consistency in both the highest and lowest ranking countries. It is proposed that this is because happiness and standard of living are interconnected ideologies. Throughout history, the average standard of living has risen consistently as a result of advances in knowledge, technique, and technology; in the modern world, countries that tend to score higher on quality of life indices tend to have highly intellectual populations and access to a variety of government programs, such as universal healthcare. Countries that score lower on these indices tend to either have a troubled history, political instability, lack of access to modern technology, or a generally uneducated population, all of which impede potential economic progress within these countries. Given this, some best practice approaches for improving the standard of living within these lower ranking countries is to assist them with modernization by fostering greater access to modern technology, aiding in establishing governance and policies for well-being, and getting them involved in the process of globalization, all of which should contribute to their economic growth. This in turn should help to raise their standard of living and thus, their quality of life and happiness.
