Global Religious Restriction and Human Flourishing

This project explores the question, “How do government and social restrictions on religion impact human flourishing around the globe?” We merge data from the Pew Global Restrictions on Religion dataset with the data from the recent Global Flourishing Study out of Harvard-Baylor to examine the effects of religious restriction on human flourishing; further, we are interested in exploring predictors of flourishing under different levels of religious restriction, with particular attention paid to religious and irreligious minorities in the context of religious restriction.
