National Accounts of Well-being, 2000, Juliet Michaelson, Saamah Abdallah, Nicola Steuer, Sam Thompson and Nic Marks, nef (the new economics foundation). National Accounts of Well-being presents a radical, robust proposal to guide the direction of modern societies and the lives of people who live in them. It demonstrates why national governments should directly measure people’s subjective well-being: their experiences, feelings and perceptions of how their lives are going. It calls for these measures to be collected on a regular, systematic basis and published as National Accounts of Well-being. The measures are needed because the economic indicators which governments currently rely on tell us little about the relative success or failure of countries in supporting a good life for their citizens.

Wellbeing draws in the many different factors which affect children’s lives: including material conditions; housing and neighbourhoods; how children feel and do at school; their health; exposure to dangerous risks; and the quality of family and classmate relationships children develop. Although child poverty is a different concept to wellbeing, poverty influences each aspect of wellbeing and is a major impediment to delivering better wellbeing.
