About
The OECD Better Life Initiative includes an interactive tool, Your Better Life Index, which allows you to put different weights on each of the topics, and thus to decide for yourself what contributes most to well‐being. The index allows users to compare well-being across 34 countries, based on 11 dimensions of well-being.
Overview
These 11 dimension areas of well-being are separated in to two groups:
Material living conditions:
- Housing
- Income
- Jobs
and quality of life:
- Community
- Education
- Environment
- Government
- Health
- Life Satisfaction
- Safety
- Work-Life Balance
Your Better Life Index
How's Life? report
The "How's Life?" Report released on 12 October by the OECD gathers and analyses indicators on the well-being of individuals and households to deepen the analysis of the drivers of well-being. It is structured along the dimensions identified by the Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission, and focuses on both average conditions of households and specific population groups in OECD and selected non-OECD countries to enrich the Your Better Life Index of the OECD Better Life Initiative with new countries and indicators. See here for the full Report.
