The OECD today launched a 3.0 version of its pioneering Better Life Index (www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org), an online, interactive tool that allows people to create their own index according to their priorities in 11 areas that the OECD has identified as essential for well-being.
“Our Better Life Index goes beyond the cold, hard numbers of GDP to really get an understanding about what matters for people and about what they want and need out of their lives and their societies,” said OECD Secretary-General, Angel Gurría. “I’m delighted that we continue to update it with new information and in new languages so that we can get a truly global picture of well-being, reflecting people’s preferences and needs, wherever and whomever they are.”
Since the launch in 2011, over 24 000 users have shared their preferences with the OECD. User findings have shed light on what policies should focus on for better lives, complementing evidence from other OECD initiatives that analyse the key drivers of individual and collective well-being.
