Purpose and Measurement of Wellbeing

Purpose and Measurement of Wellbeing
-

This is a past event

This seminar will present a synthesis of the outputs of a wellbeing initiative in Scotland in 2014 and will invite discussion of the findings. Professor Sir Ian Diamond, Principal of Aberdeen University will introduce the early evening event. Contributions will be received from a number of organisations and a question and answer session will follow.

The quality of life is impacted by more than an exclusive focus on growth in GDP. The timing of this wellbeing initiative is particularly appropriate as legislation is currently going through the Scottish Parliament to make it a legal requirement for the Scottish Government to report on a range of measures and national outcomes the performance framework “Scotland Performs”.

This seminar builds on the recent lecture session in Aberdeen from Professor EnricoGiovannini on the measurement of wellbeing at the local and regional level.
