GNH has 4 strategic area. 1. Economic self-reliance 2. Environmental preservation 3. Preservation and promotion of culture 4. Good governance And GNH is made up of 9 categorys. 1. Community Vitality 2. Cultural Diversity and Resilience 3. Education 4. Time Use and Balance 5. Living Standard(income) 6. Health of the Population 7. Good Governance 8. Psychological Wellbeing 9. Ecological Diversity and Resilience Twice feasibility research of GNH was conducted: first was done from September 2006 to January 2007 in nine prefectures with 350 samples, and second was from December 2007 to March 2008 in 12 prefectures with 950 samples. And third was in 2010. First research was summarized by Dr. Sabina Alkire, Maria Emma Santos, and Dasho Karma Ura in 2008. I, the author introduced the thesis in several paper. The outcome of second research was summarized to 8 paper(as 8 category of GNH, except environment category)by the researchers of Centre for Bhutan Studies. This paper summarize the 8 paper and predict the present and future Bhutan. Bhutan is a developing country with it's 23. 2% poverty people. But 97% of the Bhutanese people answered "happy" at the census in 2005. The reason why even the poor people feel happy, is that in Bhutan people exchange volunteer help and donation, so help each other. It comes from Buddhism that all Bhutanese from young generation to old people embrace. The Percentage of voluntary help of Bhutanese is 51. 9%: larger than 36. 1% of Japan(2009), 88. 7% of Bhutanese donate by money or good, larger than 34. 0%(2009)of Japanese donation. And the important finding is the people who do voluntary help and donation is happier than the people who do not do voluntary help and donation. Particularly, Bhutanese often say Driglam Namzha(etiquette and code of conduct)that in family or school or office, people tie each other and it works as safety-net of society. 93. 7% of Bhutanese answered Driglam Namzha is very important. The most important of life goals of Bhutanese is Family life(95. 1%), Responsibility(91. 8%), Career Success(90. 3%), Spiritwal Faith(87. 7%), Financial Security(87. 5%), So,Bhutanese think most important family life and financial security is fifth importance. Bhutanese think importance the spiritual life. 38. 41% of Bhutanese recite prayers daily,48. 57% recite prayers occasionally. And the people who recite pray daily is happier than occasionally recite people. (1) Delay of gender equality. Women work more hours than men, because women cover all housework and craft related activities and so on. So, women is less happier than men. Gender gap of happiness is first priority of GNH. (2)Urbanization and progress of economy weeken the traditional culture of Bhutan. Volunteer activity and donation is most important for Bhutanese happiness. But Urban people less perform such activity than rural people. And younger people have less interest Bhutanese traditional culture than older people. Such issues should be taken into consideration by GNH commission, especially the topthe Prime minister Jigmi Y.
