OECD better life index

Information Comments (0)

The Better Life Index is an initiative created by the OECD to compare the well-being priorities of people around the world.

It consists of 11 social indicators: “housing, income, jobs, community, education, environment, governance, health, life satisfaction, safety, work-life balance” that contribute to well-being in OECD countries.

This initiative aims to involve citizens in the debate on measuring the well-being of societies, and to empower them to become more informed and engaged in the policy-making process that shapes all our lives.

The 11 indicators in turn are composed of 20 sub-indicators through averaging and normalization.

The visualization tool is available here. By selecting a set of weights to the sub-indicators, a user can rank countries according to their weighted sum.
