1) Happiness data from surveys like the Gallup World Poll have been collected since 2005 and are now used by organizations like the OECD and UN to develop well-being metrics and policies.
2) Life evaluations are used as an umbrella measure of welfare and enable research on determinants of better lives. Global life evaluations have increased slightly since 2006 according to population-weighted averages.
3) Research shows the importance of social context - people are happiest where they have social support and trust each other. Building social capital is more effective than focusing only on economic or health factors.
The OECD Better Life Initiative focuses on developing statistics that capture aspects of life that matter to people and shape their quality of life. The two main pillars of the initiative are the How's Life? report and the Better Life Index. The How's Life? report provides a comprehensive picture of well-being across OECD countries by looking at material conditions and quality of life. The Better Life Index allows citizens to compare well-being across countries based on topics identified as essential to material living conditions and quality of life. The OECD conducts ongoing research to improve the measurement of well-being, quality of life, sustainability, material conditions, and other domains.

The document discusses Italy's inclusion of domain satisfaction indicators in its framework for measuring well-being (BES). It provides background on Italy's system of social surveys and outlines the development of the BES project, which aims to measure equitable and sustainable well-being. The BES framework includes 12 domains of well-being and over 150 indicators, including subjective well-being indicators and indicators measuring satisfaction within other domains like health, work, relationships, safety, environment and more. The document presents examples of domain satisfaction indicators and trends over time in areas like friends relations and landscape satisfaction.

The document discusses Italy's process of including Equitable and Sustainable Well-Being (ESW) indicators into its economic and budgetary planning. It analyzes how 12 ESW indicators across domains like health, education, and environment have been selected and are beginning to be used to forecast outcomes and evaluate policies. Challenges remain in developing methodologies to provide high-quality forecasts and assessments of specific policies' impacts on ESW indicators. Ongoing stakeholder engagement is also needed to maintain the effectiveness of using well-being metrics in policymaking.

Economic growth and well being beyond the easterlin paradoxPaperjam_redaction
The document discusses the relationship between economic growth and well-being in Luxembourg. It suggests that Luxembourg experienced substantial economic growth from the 1980s to 2008 but life satisfaction remained flat. This could be because four factors acted in opposition - increasing social capital/expenditures positively impacted well-being while increasing inequality and unemployment negatively impacted it. The document reviews literature on moderating factors and uses an error correction model on 15 Western European countries to predict and explain Luxembourg's life satisfaction trend.
This document summarizes a study measuring well-being among Italian provinces using a composite index called AMPI. It describes the methodology used to create the AMPI index, which aggregates normalized indicators across 7 areas including health, work, education, environment, security, income, and services. For each area, relevant statistics are provided and a composite indicator is calculated for Italian provinces, which are then classified based on their index values. Results are presented for the health area in 2004 and 2009, showing changes in life expectancy, infant mortality rates, and composite indicator values over time.

The How’s Life? report (http://oe.cd/how-is-life) charts the promises and pitfalls for people’s well-being in 35 OECD countries and 6 partner countries. It presents the latest evidence from 50 indicators, covering both current well-being outcomes and resources for future well-being, and including changes since 2005. During this period there have been signs of progress, but gains in some aspects of life have been offset by losses elsewhere. This fourth edition highlights the many faces of inequality, showing that gaps in people’s achievements and opportunities extend right across the different dimensions of well-being. It exposes divisions according to age, gender, and education, and reveals pockets of inequality in all OECD countries. It also brings to light the many well-being disadvantages that migrants face in adapting to life abroad. Additionally, the report examines governance as seen from the citizen’s perspective, revealing gaps between public institutions and the people they serve. Finally, it provides a country-by-country perspective, pinpointing strengths, challenges and changes in well-being over time in 41 country profiles.
How’s Life? is part of the OECD Better Life Initiative, which features a range of studies and analysis about people’s well-being and how to measure it, and includes the interactive Better Life Index website.

Beyond GDP: Measuring well-being and progress of NationsKübra Bayram
Everyone aspires to a good life. But what does a "good" (or better) life mean? In recent years, concerns have emerged that standard macro-economic statistics, such as GDP, which for a long time had been used as proxies to measure well-being, failed to give a true account of people’s current and future living conditions. The ongoing financial and economic crisis has reinforced this perception and it is now widely recognized that data on GDP provide only a partial perspective on the broad range of factors that matter to people’s lives.

Vienna ranks as the most liveable city in the world for the first time, overtaking Melbourne. Overall liveability has increased slightly over the past year due to improved stability in many cities. Cities in the top ten tend to be mid-sized and in wealthier countries with lower population densities. Civil war and terrorism have severely reduced stability and liveability in the worst performing cities like Damascus, Karachi, and Tripoli.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.
Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdfStatsCommunications
This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

A better understanding of domain satisfaction: Validity and policy use_Anthon...StatsCommunications
Domain satisfaction measures provide valid and useful information about people's lives beyond overall life satisfaction. Research has found that domain satisfaction captures different aspects of well-being than objective indicators alone, and that different life domains contribute differently to individual happiness. While domain satisfaction may be socially constructed and culturally variable, current policy efforts can still benefit from considering subjective experiences of satisfaction across life domains. Future research opportunities include exploring the multidimensional relationships between domain satisfaction and broader concepts of well-being.

Domains of life are important for understanding life satisfaction and informing better policymaking. The document discusses four key points:
1) It is important to consider multiple domains of life, not just economic factors, to understand people's overall well-being.
2) Domains of life represent different areas that people spend their time and where they make decisions, such as family, health, work, community.
3) Considering domains of life can provide insight into life satisfaction and help create more effective policies in areas like health, education, and social programs.
4) Current government institutions and policies can be better aligned to impact the domains of life that influence overall life satisfaction.

This document summarizes Sabrina Twilhaar's presentation on new frontiers in subjective well-being measurement for children. It discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and how children's well-being is influenced by multiple levels including micro (family, peers), meso (school), exo (neighborhood), and macro (culture, economy) systems. It then reviews literature on conceptualizing and measuring hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in children, noting gaps like a focus on life satisfaction over affect. Research finds children's well-being varies by age and sex, and is associated with family relationships and bullying. Overall, more work is needed to develop valid cross-cultural measures of multiple

This document summarizes recent research on measuring subjective well-being, with a focus on measuring how worthwhile people feel the things they do in life are. Some key findings include:
- In the UK, on average people rate their sense that the things they do are worthwhile at 7.86 out of 10, while 3.8% rate it between 0-4 out of 10.
- People in their late 60s and early 70s report the highest sense of worthwhile, while people over 85 and those aged 18-24 report the lowest.
- Factors associated with a higher sense of worthwhile include being older than 45/55, female, white, belonging to a religion, home ownership, higher income
Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Carol Graham.pdfStatsCommunications
1) The document discusses measuring hope as a distinct dimension of well-being, in addition to evaluative, hedonic, and eudaimonic measures. Hope is strongly linked to future-oriented behavior and investing in one's future.
2) Research has found unequal distributions of hope can act as a barrier to health and prosperity. People with higher hope are more likely to aspire to and achieve education and avoid risky behaviors. They also earn more, have stronger social connections, and live longer, healthier lives.
3) Areas and communities with high despair show vulnerabilities like increased deaths of despair, misinformation, and radicalization. Restoring hope is important for mental health recovery and addressing societal threats

Paris, 19- 21 September 2018
Aim of the study
2. Study possible changes in the structure of associated factors before, during and after
the recession in Italy, using individual data coming from the sample survey "Aspects of
daily life" carried out annually.
3. The Bes framework aims at giving a picture of well-being as a multidimensional
concept, including one specific domain on subjective well-being.
The Subjective Well-Being (SWB) appears as a fundamental and distinct
element: the well-being of a nation is not completely described if it is not also
taken into account what is the individual reflection of the well-being itself.
On the other hand the other Bes domains can be also regarded as factors
related to SWB itself.

0 to 10 scale, where 0 means «not satisfied at all» and 10 «very satisfied»
In particular the attention is focused on the adult population aged 25-64 and the indicator
is available from 2010 to 2016.

7. Considering the second wave of the
economic crisis in Italy occurred in 2012,
three moments in time were chosen to
analyze the covariates of SWB:
2011 (before the second wave of
economic crisis – peak of life
satisfaction),
2013 (during the crisis),
2016 (beginning of recovery of economy
and life satisfaction).

Aim: to produce a set of indicators to provide a shared view of well-being in Italy
Built through a participative process involving:
a) Steering Committee: stakeholders and Istat experts, to identify the domains and to agree on the
final list of indicators;
b) Scientific Commission: experts in different fields, to select potential indicators
c) Public consultation
Wide dissemination: Annual reports; Website with documents, data, dashboard

13. Indicators to be considered as covariates of SWB are identified to cover each Bes domain
(preference to indicators included in other studies from the literature).
All data must come from the same data source to be able to perform analysis on micro
data.
In Italy the survey covering the highest proportion of Bes indicators (25%) is the annual
multipurpose survey on «Aspects of daily life».
For the indicators selected which are derived from a different data source, a proxy
indicator was found from the «Aspects of daily life» survey.
In this way it was possible to cover 10 domains, other than the SWB domain, leaving out
the domain of innovation, research and creativity, as we could not find a satisfactory proxy
to cover it in the AVQ survey.

20. This analysis is an attempt to investigate a complex phenomenon such as SWB, including different
types of covariates and the time dimension, referring to a wide framework to measure well-being
such as the Bes framework in Italy.
First phase of the analysis: the picture we get for association of socio-demographic covariates with
high level of life satisfaction is stable in the three years considered; more variability over time for the
explanatory variables related to the domains of well-being.
Second phase of the analysis: the AME method allowed to compare the strength of the association
in three different moments (pre-during-post recession).
Areas in which the impact of the association is weaker during the crisis: health.
Areas in which the impact of the association is stable in the three years considered: economic
well-being.
Areas in which the impact of the association is stronger during the crisis: social relationships.

Individual and contextual factors related to subjective well-being: an analysis of the
evolution during and after recession in Italy
Paris, 19- 21 September 2018
21. Being able to analyze the phenomenon before and after the economic recession was an opportunity
which allowed to monitor direct and indirect impact of the context on individual perception of life
satisfaction as an important part of SWB.
It will be important to study also interlinkages among domains, to better understand variations over
time and to repeat the analysis on 2017 data, when the recovery of economy has consolidated more.
The future developments of the multipurpose annual survey AVQ could allow in the future to extend
the study of SWB taking into account also the “affect” component.
