5. Measuring wellbeing* There are three key elements of well-being that it will be important to measure: i) trends over time; ii) the distribution of outcomes across different members of society; and iii) the distribution of outcomes across countries.*OECD Guidelines on Measuring Subjective Wellbeing.
6. Subjective Wellbeing: Theory – approaches*EvaluativeLife satisfaction & life satisfaction scalesLadder of life approachesDomain satisfactionHedonicAffect measuresExperience sampling techniquesEudaimonicFlourishing approachCapabilities approachBeing, doing, loving*the new economics foundation
7. Why subjective wellbeing?*Well-being is a property of people Well-being is inherently subjective‘Feeling’ good is universally desirable and important to peopleSubjective well-being is democraticSubjective well-being data can provide new insights*the new economics foundation
8. Subjective wellbeing One benefit of using subjective well- being is that it emphasizes the views of individuals. It is grounded in people’s preferences. SWB can indicate the combined impact of life circumstances on subjective perceptions and emotions.*OECD Guidelines on Measuring Subjective Wellbeing.
9. In Mexico a project in three phases…First step, the debate:Measuring progress and social welfare, CIDE, in October 2009.The Latin American Conference for the Measurement of Welfare and Fostering the Progress of Societies with OECD, in May 2011.Subjective Wellbeing, its measurement and use in Public Policy and Decision Making in Mexico and Latin America, FLACSO, March 2013.
10. In Mexico a project in three phases…Second step, the data:Generate a set of basic indicators of progress and social welfare from an adjusted version of OECD´s taxonomy from How's Life? Indicators will be provided for the country and for each of its 32 states on a number of relevant issues: a) quality of life; b) material living conditions, and c) welfare sustainability.
11. Pioneer effort in Mexico’s official statistics.Module in the Household National Expenditures Survey (ENGASTO) 2012/1.OECD recommendations.INEGI’s experience.Self-reportedPopulation aged 18 to 75 years.10,654 questionnaires responded.Bienestar autorreportado(BIARE)
12. In Mexico a project in three phases…From the second half of 2013 on: module in the Consumer Confidence Survey on the third month of each quarter. A module in the National Survey of Income and Expenditure Survey during 2014.Planning the incorporation of questions in the next National Time Use Survey, 2014. The purpose is to include subjective wellbeing questions in a variety of surveys in order to understand how subjective wellbeing indicators are correlated with a wide range of variables.

14. In Mexico a project in three phases…Third step, communication:Promote the use of the indicators and get public feedback for improvement. We will continue with the seminars and roundtables to analyze these indicators.The results on subjective wellbeing have gained much public attention with an impact in the media similar to the population census.

20. LessonsThe concept of subjective wellbeing may be challenged in countries where basic living material conditions have not been met.Subjective wellbeing measurements may seem foreign to users.It is important to demonstrate consistency of data.Data should be analyzed within the social, economic and demographic context of each country.
21. For reflectionIs life satisfaction an individual or a collective goal? Is it a private or a public responsibility?Can there be a global framework for life satisfaction in the post-2015 agenda?How to best convey the relationship between SBW measurements and public policies?What is the best way to make sense of subjective wellbeing indicators?Would international comparisons of SWB indicators be meaningful?
