The Prime Minister has announced a new move towards fuller measurement of a concept of wellbeing broader than GDP and its use in policy making. The government’s aim is for respondents to be regularly polled on their subjective wellbeing, which includes a gauge of happiness, and also a more objective sense of how well they are achieving their “life goals”. The new data will be placed alongside existing measures to create a bundle of indications about our quality of life. Reports: BBC Guardian
