3. Since 2011: the OECD Well-Being Framework
• Studied the policy drivers of 9 dimensions (with
the exception of social connections and personal
security) across countries, over time, place-based
etc [Formal quantification for many of them]
• Studied the intersections (e.g. how health has an
impact of income; how access to green space
affects subjective well-being, etc)
• Mainstreaming of well-being within OECD
successful:
• Focus on multidimensionality
• Focus on distribution
• Focus on outcomes (including subjective)

• Social investments geared towards creating an “economy of well-being” hold
the promise of delivering high economic and well-being returns.
• Well-designed programmes in education, heath care, social protection and
gender equality will increase tax revenue and lower the cost of remedial action.
• When returns to the government from these social investments exceed the
costs of public borrowing, government new worth will increase.
• Even when the government cannot fully appropriate their returns, these social
investments may improve the balance sheet for the country as a whole.
Macroeconomic and fiscal policies
can help take these effects into account.
