Abstract
Interest in the well-being measurement is constantly increasing worldwide, especially due
to the Stiglitz Commission suggestions, which opened several questions about its assessment
and theoretical framework. This paper focuses on the Italian scenario due to the central
role given to this topic by the Italian Parliament, which introduces equitable and sustainable
well-being among the objectives of the government’s economic and social policy.
Significant differences exist among the proposed Italian well-being indices in terms of
theoretical approach, statistical rigour and aims. We propose a detailed outline of these
indices useful for policy-makers, practitioners, economists and statistics scholars, with the
awareness that for a good analysis, a complete and conscious description of the data is the
starting point to further improve their usefulness, to maximise their advantages and to cut
down their limitations.
