Targeted at national statistical offices, these guidelines focus on assessing present well-being by outlining key dimensions and careful indicator selection. Recommendations cover choosing reliable data sources, compiling robust metrics, and effectively communicating well-being statistics to the public.
The Guidelines are targeted at national statistical offices. The guidelines focus on the measurement of well-being ‘here and now’, a subset of a broader conception of well-being that also considers well-being ‘elsewhere’ and ‘later’. The Guidelines provide recommendations on the dimensions of well-being, on the selection and compilation of statistical indicators, data sources and the dissemination and communication of well-being indicators to the public.
