Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of human development on happiness in selected developing countries during the period of 2007-2022 using the generalized moments model (GMM). According to the results obtained by the logarithm of happiness (LHAP), a break can increase the variable of happiness by 1.20%. The human development index has had a positive and significant effect on happiness. So that with a one percent increase in the human development index, happiness increases by 1.39 percent. Other results obtained indicate that the logarithm of the size of the government and the logarithm of the degree of openness of the economy have led to an increase in happiness, and the logarithm of income inequality has led to a decrease in happiness.
