Measuring subjective well-being: the UK experience Glenn Everett, Programme Director, Measuring National Well-being Programme, ONS 27 June 2012 www.ons.gov.uk

Why are we measuring subjective well-being? SWB measures supplement rather than supplant other socio-economic indicators Not a replacement to GDP but go beyond GDP Long-term trends rather than short-term change ONS will present SWB measures along with more objective indicators as part of framework to monitor National Well-being

How did we choose the measures? Existing research Questions used in national/ international surveys Advice from academic community Technical Advisory Group

How are we measuring subjective well-being? Scale 0 -10 Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays? Overall, to what extent do you feel the things you do in your life are worthwhile? Overall, how happy did you feel yesterday? Overall, how anxious did you feel yesterday?

What do the data tell us? 0 to 10 scale, where 0 = ‘not at all’ and 10 = ‘completely’ Source: April to September 2011 Annual Population Survey, ONS 5 5

How can subjective well-being data be used? “you’ve got to take practical steps to make sure government is properly focused on our quality of life as well as economic growth… …this information will help government work out, with evidence, the best ways of helping to improve people’s well-being.”

How can subjective well-being data be used? Below aggregate level: SWB measures could help with identifying need and targeting policies Assist in allocation of resources look at objective circumstances against levels of SWB not only sub groups of the population but also smaller geographic areas also important to measure domain satisfaction for policy purposes
