Current well-being vertical inequality

The <b>How’s Life? database</b> is the one-stop shop for the 80+ indicators of the OECD Well-being Dashboard, covering social, economic and environmental outcomes that matter most for people, the planet and future generations. It consists of six datasets: current well-being, current well-being vertical inequalities, current well-being by age, educational attainment, sex, and resources for future well-being. To learn more about the database, visit the database's <a href='https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/topics/policy-sub-issues/measuring-well-being-and-progress/oecd-well-being-database-definitions.pdf' target='_blank'>definitions and metadata.</a> <br> <br> This dataflow covers: <b>Current well-being by vertical inequality</b>. <br> <br> The distribution of current well-being is taken into account by looking at three types of inequality: gaps between population groups by age, educational attainment and sex (horizontal inequalities); <b>gaps between those at the top and those at the bottom of the achievement scale in each dimension (vertical inequalities)</b>; and deprivations (i.e. the share of the population falling below a given threshold of achievement). <br> <br> Check out the latest publication using this database <a href='https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/how-s-life-2024_90ba854a-en.html' target='_blank'>How's Life? 2024 - Well-being and resilience in times of crisis</a> and the <a href='https://www.oecd.org/en/publications/how-s-life-2024_90ba854a-en/support-materials.html#title-bb16ca3ab9' target='_blank'>How's Life? country notes</a>. <br> <br> Have questions?
