ABSTRACT
National well-being is the average personal well-being of the population of a country. Well-being is a concept closely linked to health but goes beyond physical health and economic indicators. It considers health in its holistic form, which includes physical, mental, and social health. The mental health component dominates in this concept and includes aspects such as people’s cognitive and affective evaluations of their lives. These valuations are mostly self-rated instead of being objectively measured and depend on how worthwhile or satisfied we rate our lives and our happiness, feelings of anxiety, and mental well-being [1]. The aim of this assessment is to provide a fuller picture of how society is doing by supplementing existing economic, social, and environmental measures [1]. A national index may help inform the society about balancing work with recreation and about nurturing relationships.
