Recent years have seen a huge growth in interest in the concept of wellbeing, and this has been matched by a steady increase in the amount of data available for studying it. After the so-called Stiglitz report commissioned by French President Sarkozy, a number of other governments have followed suit and taken a more proactive approach to the measurement of wellbeing. In November 2010 Prime Minister David Cameron launched the Office for National Statistics's Measuring National Wellbeing Programme. At the time, a source in the PM's office said "next time we have a comprehensive spending review, let's not just guess what effect various policies will have on people's wellbeing. Let's actually know." However there has been relatively little attention so far to appropriate policy responses to emerging findings. This project starts to address this shortfall making extensive use of the European Social Survey, a well-established cross-national dataset with high methodological standards. Since 2002, the ESS has included a small number of questions measuring different elements of wellbeing: the degree to which individuals feel happy and satisfied with their own lives (personal wellbeing); the extent to which they feel integrated and included in their social surroundings (social wellbeing); and the evaluations citizens make of the performance and values of their society at the national level (societal wellbeing). In addition, on two occasions (2006 and 2012), the survey has included a whole module of questions about social and personal wellbeing. The resulting data from the 2012 fieldwork recently became available for 24 countries and the remaining countries' data will be released in Spring 2014. The approach comprises three strands. The first stage uses the data to map the European wellbeing landscape, noting the differences between countries, over time, and between different measures. It will also explore the factors (or 'drivers') that seem to be associated with wellbeing, and how these also vary between country, over time and for different measures. It will aim to identify inequalities in wellbeing and to establish where these are most and least apparent. Building on previous work, we hope to discover how people's individual wellbeing is related to their evaluations of the quality of their societies, and how strongly, if at all, the two are linked. It will also look at the relevance of the 'Five ways to well-being' - a tool which is being used by local authorities, health professionals and community groups across the UK to improve wellbeing. The second strand of the project uses these data to develop headline indicators of wellbeing that best capture the complexity of its many aspects. In doing so it attempts to accurately represent both the structure of the data and the many theories of what wellbeing is. Each differently designed set of indicators has implications for the way they are communicated and to whom.The final strand is focused on the use of wellbeing data in policy analysis. Drawing on the previous stages of analysis, the project team will consider whether the variations in wellbeing across Europe call for policy responses, and if the 'drivers' that are revealed point to any policy priorities. We will select three areas of policy, examine what types of evidence currently inform how these policies are made, and then develop policy recommendations by integrating the well-being data into the policy process and other types of evidence, working with policy makers in a series of seminars. It will use these recommendations, together with an analysis of cross-Europe levels and changes in well-being and set of easily accessible headline indicators of population well-being, to create interest in the findings across a broad audience. The intended ultimate outcome is greater credibility of, and appetite for, the use of subjective well-being data in policy making and better informed debates on political goals.

近年来，人们对幸福感的兴趣急剧增加，可用于研究幸福感的数据也在不断增加。在法国总统萨科齐（Sarkozy）委托编制的“斯蒂格利茨报告”（Stiglitz report）之后，各国政府纷纷效仿，对幸福感的衡量采取了更加积极的态度。2010年11月，首相大卫卡梅隆启动了国家统计局的衡量国民福祉计划。当时，总理办公室的一位消息人士说：“下次我们进行全面的支出审查时，我们不要只是猜测各种政策对人民福祉的影响。让我们真正知道。“然而，迄今为止，对新发现的适当政策反应的关注相对较少。该项目开始解决这一不足，广泛利用欧洲社会调查，这是一个具有高方法标准的完善的跨国数据集。自2002年以来，斯洛文尼亚就业服务系统纳入了少量衡量福祉不同要素的问题：个人感到幸福和对自己生活满意的程度（个人福祉）;他们感到融入和融入社会环境的程度（社会福祉）;以及公民在国家一级对其社会业绩和价值观的评价（社会福祉）。此外，在两次调查中（2006年和2012年），调查包括了关于社会和个人福祉的一整套问题。2012年实地工作产生的数据最近可供24个国家使用，其余国家的数据将于2014年春季公布。该办法包括三个方面。第一阶段使用数据绘制欧洲福祉景观，注意国家之间的差异，随着时间的推移，以及不同的措施之间。它还将探讨似乎与福祉相关的因素（或“驱动因素”），以及这些因素在不同国家之间、随着时间的推移和不同的衡量标准之间的差异。它的目的是查明福祉方面的不平等现象，并确定这些不平等现象在哪些方面最明显和最不明显。在以前工作的基础上，我们希望发现人们的个人福祉如何与他们对社会质量的评价相关，以及两者之间的联系有多强。它还将研究“五种幸福方式”的相关性-这是英国各地地方当局，卫生专业人员和社区团体正在使用的一种工具，以改善福祉。该项目的第二部分使用这些数据来制定福祉的主要指标，以最好地捕捉其许多方面的复杂性。在这样做的过程中，它试图准确地表示数据的结构和幸福的许多理论。每一套设计不同的指标都对它们的传播方式和对象产生影响，最后一部分侧重于在政策分析中使用福祉数据。根据前几阶段的分析，项目团队将考虑欧洲各地福祉的变化是否需要政策应对，以及所揭示的“驱动因素”是否指向任何政策优先事项。我们将选择三个政策领域，研究哪些类型的证据目前告知这些政策是如何制定的，然后通过将福祉数据融入政策过程和其他类型的证据，与政策制定者在一系列研讨会上合作，制定政策建议。它将利用这些建议，结合对全欧洲福祉水平和变化的分析以及一套易于获取的人口福祉主要指标，使广大受众对调查结果产生兴趣。预期的最终结果是更大的可信度和胃口，在决策和更好地了解政治目标的辩论中使用主观幸福感数据。
