This review of domains and measures honours a commitment made in November 2012 in 'Measuring National Well-being: Life in the UK, 2012’ that ONS would ‘review and further refine domains and measures of well-being and the criteria used to select them’.

The analysis uses data from the Annual Population Survey and explores the importance of a range of factors which may affect personal well-being while holding other factors constant.
