abstract: This research investigates the correlation between the distribution of well-being indicators and populist 
support across regions in the European Union. The primary aim is to determine to what extent these 
well-being indicators are linked to populist movements within the EU. Despite previous studies 
examining these factors separately, this study uniquely focuses on the relationship between the two in 
an EU context. To achieve the research aim, the following research question was used: To what extent 
does the geographic distribution of well-being indicators correlate with support for populist movements 
in different regions of the European Union? While it is hypothesized that there is a correlation between 
well-being factors and populist support, the statistical analysis conducted in this research does not 
provide conclusive evidence to confirm or reject this hypothesis. The literature review however, shows 
that it is highly likely that such a relationship does exist, implying that policy makers in the EU should 
try their best to improve the subjective well-being as well as objective well-being and focus on the 
inequalities between regions and people
