What is Wellbeing?

Wellbeing has 10 broad dimensions: 

1. Personal (subjective) wellbeing
2. Health
3. Our relationships 
4. What we do
5. Where we live
6. Personal finance
7. Education and skills 
8. The natural environment
9. The economy
10. Governance

These dimensions have been shown to matter most to people in the UK as identified through a national debate, run by the Measuring National Wellbeing Programme at the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS) and benefiting from guidance by leading international experts.

The 10 domains cover both objective and subjective measures.

A visual overview of how people in the UK are doing across 10 domains of national wellbeing is available on the ONS website.
