Abstract

Ononchimeg Ryenchindorj

The main goal of our study explored the concept of happiness and well-being from a legal perspective, focusing on Mongolia’s context. While happiness is a universal desire often examined through philosophy, psychology, religion, and literature, its legal implications remain less discussed. The study begins by reviewing global constitutional approaches to happiness, followed by a comparative analysis of Mongolia’s situation. It also explains the World Happiness Report and Happiness Index, highlighting their purposes and differences. The article further discusses the importance of integrating happiness into legal reforms, emphasizing the state’s role in promoting citizens’ well-being. By bridging scientific, philosophical, and legal viewpoints, the study aims to clarify the meaning of happiness and propose how it can be legislated to enhance societal welfare. This interdisciplinary approach provides a foundation for future legal frameworks that prioritize human happiness and social well-being in Mongolia.
