Measuring Well-being and Progress

Focusing on people's well-being and societal progress, the OECD is looking at the functioning of the economic system but also at the diverse experiences and living conditions of people and households in its attempt to measure the well-being and progress of societies.

By the Numbers

Statistics affect us personally every day, helping to determine how likely we are to get that car loan or when we will be able to retire and draw our pension. But how can we be sure that we are measuring the right things in the right way to make such decisions?

Better Life Initiative: Measuring Well-Being and Progress

Are our lives getting better? How can policies improve our lives? Are we measuring the right things? The OECD Better Life Initiative and the work programme on Measuring Progress answer these questions. They allow understanding what drives well-being of people and nations and what needs to be done to achieve greater progress for all.
