| We have published Measuring progress, well-being and beyond GDP today, a new release summarising progress in the UK across the economy, environment and society.  Key findings on progress Our data show that: around 1 in 17 (5.8%) people in the UK have low satisfaction with their life in October to December 2023. This increased from the same period five years ago (4.4% in October to December 2018) economic inactivity in the UK has increased over the last year, with 22.2% of 16- to 64-year-olds citing long-term sickness as the most common reason higher inflation has put pressure on household budgets, with 21.8% of people in Great Britain finding it fairly or very difficult to get by financially in March 2024  in 2022 1.1 million fewer people enjoyed the health benefits from nature than in 2020 because they didn't get to visit often or for long enough We will publish a measuring progress article every three months with a focus on well-being and beyond GDP â the next will be available on 14 August.  We have also revamped our webpage, bringing our data on measuring progress and beyond GDP and our UK Measures of National Well-being Dashboard (which has also been updated today), into one easy-to-find place. Hearing from you We'd love to hear your feedback on our new measuring progress work - do get in touch with us at qualityoflife@ons.gov.uk. |
