The Foresight definition
Wellbeing is “a dynamic state, in which the individual is able to develop their potential, work productively and creatively, build strong and positive relationships with others, and contribute to their community. It is enhanced when an individual is able to fulfill their personal and social goals and achieve a sense of purpose in society”
Government Office for Science, 2008, 10
“ Measuring the size of these wider benefits of learning is an important research priority, where progress requires better measures of people’s characteristics in a range of domains and surveys that follow the same individual over time.”
Stiglitz, Sen and Fitoussi
Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress, 2009, p47
