This study examines various variables that are thought to affect the Indonesian Happiness Index. The type of data used is secondary data in the form of panel data consisting of 34 provinces in Indonesia with observation years 2017 and 2021. The results of various panel data regression tests show that the most suitable model is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The results of the study conducted show that the Human Development Index has a significant and positive effect on the Happiness Index, and the Gender Inequality Index has a significant and negative effect on the Happiness Index. Meanwhile, Gross Regional Domestic Product and School Participation Rate 16 to 18 years old are not proven to affect the Happiness Index significantly. An interesting finding in this study is that Indonesian people tend to feel less happy when men and women are given equal equality, because basically people tend to still adhere to a patriarchal culture.
