THE OECD yesterday released a new version of
its pioneering Your Better Life Index - an online, interactive index that allows
people to measure and compare their lives in a way that goes beyond traditional
GDP numbers.
Launched last year, Your Better Life Index enables people to
compare well-being based on 11 topics - housing, income, jobs, community,
education, environment, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety and
work-life balance. The updated version, launched yesterday as part of the OECD’s
annual Forum and Ministerial Meetings in Paris, integrates data on gender and
inequality and strengthens existing topics. The updated Index also includes two
new countries, Russia and Brazil.
