AnnotationSince 2011, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has asked adults in the UK questions about their personal well-being, to better understand how they feel about their lives and to estimate life satisfaction, happiness and anxiety in the UK and constituent countries. This Statistical bulletin finds that comparing the years ending March 2016 and 2017, there have been statistically significant improvements in average ratings of life satisfaction and happiness for the UK overall: they have reached their highest levels since 2011. There was no change in average ratings of anxiety and the sense that things done in life are worthwhile. The main finding is that Northern Ireland continues to give higher average ratings across each of the personal well-being measures, when compared with the other UK countries. This bulletin includes links to related statistics for the period, including the What Works Centre for Wellbeing's local well-being indicators and guidelines, as well as ONS publications on economic well-being and social capital.
