Your Better Life Index There is more to life than the cold numbers of GDP and economic growth. The OECD Better Life Index allows you to compare well-being across different countries, based on 11 topics the OECD has identified as essential, in the areas of material living conditions and quality of life. Each petal of the flower represents one topic and the size of the petal the country’s rating for that topic. The height of the flower shows the country’s overall rating.
The OECD Better Life Index enables you to rate countries according to the importance you give to the 11 topics. You can compare your well-being priorities with those of other users by country, age and gender, and share your results. Create your own Better Life Index at:
