What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 事实是，这些不同类型的服务影响着人们福祉的许多不同维度。而界定人类福祉本身也极具挑战性。不过，我们发现有些项目为生活提供了基本的物质基础，无论是食物、住所还是幸福。
हिन्दी: सच यह है कि इन विभिन्न प्रकार की सेवाएँ लोगों के कल्याण के कई अलग-अलग आयामों को प्रभावित करती हैं। और मानव कल्याण को परिभाषित करना भी बेहद चुनौतीपूर्ण है। फिर भी, हमने पाया कि कुछ चीज़ें जीवन के लिए बुनियादी सामग्री देती हैं — चाहे वह भोजन हो, आश्रय हो या खुशी।
नेपाली: कुरा यो हो कि ती विभिन्न प्रकारका सेवाहरूले मानिसको कल्याणका धेरै फरक आयामहरूलाई असर गर्छन्। अनि मानव कल्याणलाई परिभाषित गर्नु पनि अत्यन्त चुनौतीपूर्ण छ। तैपनि, हामीले पहिचान गर्यौँ कि केही कुराहरूले जीवनका लागि आधारभूत सामग्री दिन्छन् — त्यो खाना होस्, बास होस् वा खुसी।
Tiếng Việt: Thực tế là những loại dịch vụ khác nhau ấy ảnh hưởng đến nhiều khía cạnh khác nhau của hạnh phúc con người. Và việc định nghĩa hạnh phúc con người cũng cực kỳ khó khăn. Tuy nhiên, chúng tôi nhận thấy có một số thứ cung cấp nền tảng vật chất cơ bản cho cuộc sống, dù đó là thức ăn, chỗ ở hay niềm vui.
