- Abstract
- Academics, politicians, and citizens around the world are calling for multidimensional measures of national well-being to be included in public policy-making. Under the motto "The Future of Well-Being," the 6th OECD World Forum recently pushed forward this debate in Incheon, Korea. Comparing multidimensional well-being measures across countries, Korea ranks well in income and health, but shows deficiencies in social support, perceived freedom over life choices, air quality, and work-life balance. Multidimensional measures of well-being are increasingly being adopted by policy-makers around the world to improve people's lives.
