Earlier this year the Government published a Well-being Framework for Ireland.

It sets out a vision for understanding life in Ireland and includes an initial conceptual framework and supporting measurement dashboard, which will be improved over time.

The well-being initiative is about taking a new approach to measuring Ireland’s progress as a country through understanding what is important to people’s lives. 

This involves considering, in a joined-up way, economic, social, environmental, health and other important outcomes that matter to people’s lives today and into the future.

Over time, it is intended that the Well-being Framework will be utilised in a systematic way across government policymaking.

This survey will help policy makers get a sense of people’s ambitions and priorities, and also gain direct feedback on the initial well-being framework.
 
Please note the  survey will close on 9th January 2022.
