"Statistical evaluation of Human well-being"

The rational and recent efforts of official statistics to produce a statistical evaluation of human well-being are presented. As well-being is a multidimensional concept, difficult and complex to define, its measurement needs a robust conceptual definition and a process that relates concepts to reality with the help of careful chosen and available indicators. This effort to measure and present statistical information about well-being at national level has also been a task for Statistics Portugal since 2013. Statistics Portugal releases each year data about the evolution of each well-being domain from 2004, indexes summarizing the evolution of Material living conditions and Quality of life and a global Well-being index. We will discuss the options followed to design these composite indicators.
