Well-being data are pivotal in decisions that affect our life chances, livelihoods and quality of life. They are increasingly valuable to companies with their eyes on profit, organisations looking to make a social impact, and governments focussed on societal problems. This book follows well-being data back centuries, showing they have long been used to track the health and wealth of society. It questions assumptions that have underpinned over 200 years of social science, statistical and policy work. Understanding Well-being Data is a readable, introductory book with real-life examples. Understanding the contexts of data and decision-making are critical for policy, practice and research that aims to do good, or at least avoid harm. Through its comprehensive survey and critical lens, this book provides tools to promote better understanding of the power and potential of well-being data for society, and the limits of their application. 410 0$aNew Directions in Cultural Policy Research 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aMedia studies$2bicssc 610 $acultural 610 $avalue 610 $awellbeing 610 $apolicy 610 $aculture 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aMedia studies 676 $a362.1 676 $a362.1 700 $aOman$b Susan$01239567 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910504284003321 996 $aUnderstanding Well-Being Data$92876053 997 $aUNINA
