"Australia presents a mixed picture of national wellbeing, according to the
government’s
Measuring What Matters report released by Treasurer Jim
Chalmers.
On the positive side, over the past two decades life expectancy has increased,
income and job opportunities have improved, and we are better at accepting
diversity.
But Australians now have more chronic health conditions, access to care and
support services is more difficult, and there has been little progress on
mental health.
While school outcomes have improved, they are falling behind other countries,
and we are spending less time developing new skills.
After a trial run of a wellbeing statement in Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ first
budget last year, he says this is the first proper national wellbeing
framework.
Fifty indicators are used to measure wellbeing under five themes: how healthy,
secure, sustainable, cohesive and prosperous we are. The idea is to go beyond
the traditional economic measures."
