Developing a framework to assess human, social, economic and planetary well‑being for health

Overview

This document was produced as a companion product for the WHO European Regional High-level Forum on health in the well-being economy, held in Copenhagen on 1–2 March 2023.

It sets out early proposals for a framework to assess four essential well‑being capitals, building on a rapid review of international well‑being indicator frameworks.

It provides a collection of existing and envisioned well‑being indicators – for illustrative purposes only.

This will support the development of a policy tool for decision‑makers to guide well‑being investment, prioritization and progress monitoring.
