Our Life in the UK wellbeing index measures collective wellbeing across the UK. It is based on what people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland tell us about their lives.

The purpose of the index is to assist governments across the UK to focus their attention on the things that really matter to people, and to help us understand whether we are collectively living better or worse over time. The index will also help identify where progress is being made and the areas of our lives that require policy intervention.

Carnegie UK and Ipsos designed, developed and analysed the Life in the UK index in partnership.

This publication by Ipsos provides an overview of the research process from survey design, index content, data processing, exploratory factor analysis, bootstrapped factor analysis to regression.
