Determinants of well-being
Authors: Cristina Pereira, Hermínia Gonçalves, Teresa Sequeira
Abstract: Traditionally, European social policies have focused on material well-being and social justice, neglecting subjective indicators. This review systematically examines the scientific understanding of well-being, its indicators, and its relationship with governance. It suggests that political systems and institutions significantly impact well-being, and that subjective indicators should be incorporated into public policy decisions. The findings advocate for a more holistic approach to well-being measurement, encompassing both objective and subjective dimensions.
