Towards a Wellbeing Economy
The Happiness Research Institute, commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers, 2022
Why do the Nordic countries need a Wellbeing Economy when they have done so well without?
Governments around the world, notably New Zealand, the UK, Iceland, and Finland, are progressively adopting the notion of the Wellbeing Economy to solve some of society’s most looming issues.Â
​
To provide a clear framework for understanding and engaging with the concept of the Wellbeing Economy, we have written a report for The Nordic Council of Ministers and The Nordic Council.
​
Despite needing a more clear common language, we find the Wellbeing Economy has enormous potential in solving societal wellbeing issues such as loneliness and poor mental health, amongst many others.
