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
