Question

Would you recommend a move to Bhutan for retired elders? What about for a person mid-career in IT-technology? A well-to-do teenager? If you had/have a friend who is very, very unhappy, what are some suggestions and/or tips you could offer her or him?

Answer 1

• Bhutan is a country that has a high gross national happiness index.This means people staying there are comparatively more content in terms of  socio-economic development, environmental conservation, preservation and promotion of culture,  good governance.The gross national happiness index is based on various aspects such as , well being, culture, health, education, resilience, governance, living standards.Yes, In a scenario where elders can have sources to support themselves and are ready to adjust in an entirely new country, then shifting to Bhutan may be a good idea.
• For a person in mid career in IT technology, this may not be a good shift , unless the IT is associated with the main sectors in the country.Bhutan's economy is based on the agriculture, forestry, tourism,hydroelectric power.
• For a teenager, if the interests, personality and career orientation is towards the country's economy and existing markets, then they may shift here for present education or future prospects.
• If my friend is very unhappy,I would suggest him to see the reason behind his present situation.If there has been a loss or valid reason and the time consumed for unhappiness is not overwhelming, then its alright.Otherwise I would recommend him to meet a mental health professional.

Good Luck!
