About the Measuring National Wellbeing Programme
The Measuring National Wellbeing programme began in November 2010 with the aim to ‘develop and publish an accepted and trusted set of National Statistics which help people understand and monitor wellbeing’. The Programme has developed a set of 41 headline measures, organised by ten ‘domains’ including topics such as 'Health', 'What we do' and 'Where we live'. The measures include both objective data (for example, number of crimes against the person per 1,000 adults) and subjective data (for example, percentage who felt safe walking alone after dark). Measures are updated with latest data in March and September each year. The 'Life in the UK' report accompanies the March update and takes a closer look at measures within each domain. Where possible, data are presented for the UK. Where this is not the case, the best available geography is used. Data are the latest available at February 2014.
