Technical advances in well-being policy appraisal, design, and evaluation

Parallel Session - Strengthening well-being-informed decision-making throughout the policy cycle requires a new or adapted infrastructure of well-being-informed policy tools that can better integrate principles such as multidimensionality, equity and inclusion, people-focused outcomes, and longer time frames (including sustainability considerations and impacts on future generations). Each of these aspects bring additional complexity and challenges, and efforts to address them in government decision-making are relatively recent, but a number of promising methodologies exist. This session showcased a range of technical approaches for better integrating well-being evidence and principles in policy appraisal, design, and evaluation.

This session was moderated by Urvashi Parashar, Director of Analysis and Chief Economist, Department of Culture Media and Sport, United Kingdom.
