| Annotation | Since 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 between the years ending December 2016 and 2017, average ratings of happiness and feeling that the things done in life are worthwhile have slightly increased in the UK. Scotland was the only country to show improvements across any measures of personal well-being. While people in Northern Ireland continued to report higher levels of personal well-being compared with the UK average, a larger proportion of people in Wales reported low ratings of life satisfaction, worthwhile and happiness compared with the UK average. This Statistical Bulletin includes findings from ONS-commissioned research by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in collaboration with the What Works Centre for Well-being, to investigate a range of possible measures of well-being inequalities.
