Among these, of great influence is the use of taxi service done online. With the help of smartphones, arranging and using cab service has become easy and cheap. One of the most popular brands in the sector is Uber. Due to its convenience, many users opt for it than the taxi service available at the conventional taxi stand even when there are vehicles available in abundance. It is highly surprising to note that even when Uber has a wide network across the globe, they do not own even a single car. All this is possible by the use of a location-based app (software) capable of linking the drivers and the users efficiently, which also brings down the cost of travel. The network of users and drivers along with geographical location made available through GPS make it easy for the user to locate the nearest taxi available to take him efficiently even through heavy traffic to his destination. The present article focuses on the socio-economic conditions of the drivers, the problems faced by the drivers and the users, customer satisfaction, etc. Keywords: Uber, taxi service Journal: Shanlax International Journal of Economics Pages: 1-4 Volume: 6 Issue: 4 Year: 2018 Month: September File-URL: https://www.shanlaxjournals.in/journals/index.php/economics/article/view/128 File-Format: text/html File-URL: https://www.shanlaxjournals.in/journals/index.php/economics/article/view/128/55 File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:acg:journl:v:6:y:2018:i:4:p:1-4 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: K Shibi Author-Workplace-Name: NSS Hindu College Title: Happynomics: The Economics of Eudaimonia Abstract: The word happiness, is commonly used to designate something intricate and ambiguous, one of those ideas which humanity has intentionally left vague, so that each individual might interpret it in his own way. The very purpose of life is the expansion of happiness. Happiness is the goal of every other goal. Everything we fear in the world and want to change can be transformed through happiness. By looking through the lens of our contemporary understanding of consciousness, we have created a set of principles for living with ease and happiness is the one among those. Research on happiness has become a highly debated research topic over last couple of years. Academic journal, magazines and self help books are now loaded with tips and methods to attain happiness and to make it permanent in one’s life. Since the search of happiness is atvery nascent stage and more progress has to be made. Different studies were conducted to find out the factors essential for happiness. Well know economists have started to ask themselves and their profession: ‘Would you be Happier if you were Richer?’( Kahnemann et al. 2006).The present article is an attempts to understand the place of economics plays in the pursuit of Happiness. Yet the study of happiness is normally considered as the area of study of psychologists and philosophers rather than economists. Economics is the study of individual and individual happiness. Money and happiness are intimately connected, or so most people believe. Although money doesn’t guarantee happiness, being in a wealthy country certainly increases our odds of having a good life.

A healthy population is a prerequisite for economic growth in turn this income growth can be channeled to improve human lives through the provision of a decent education, good governance and all other requirements for human well being. Health is one of the vital indicators reflecting quality of human life. Good health is a major resource for social, economic and human development and an important dimension of quality of life. The public health investment in India over the years has not only been low, but also as a percentage of GDP is continuously on the decline. This implies that public health spending accounted for less than what it would have been on health sector. According to the study conducted by the world health organization (WHO) poor health, in the form of disability, reduces wages by as much as 12% and has negative consequences on labour productivity. The vision for India in the area of health should be faster a healthy society through provision of quality health through health education and health care services. Creating awareness on health problems and their consequences, health services available in government sector and private sector is most important to take own decision to choose their choices for caring them self.
