Abstract
The second joint meeting of experts on targets and indicators for health and well-being in Health 2020 was convened to identify objective well-being indicators to complement the subjective well-being indicator already adopted for Health 2020. The meeting recommended that objective well-being be assessed across four domains: social connections/relationships, economic security/income, natural and built environment, and education. Indicators for these domains were recommended as follows: two new core indicators (availability of social support for the domain of social connections/relationships; and percentage of the population with improved sanitation facilities for the domain of natural and built environment); three core indicators already in Health 2020 monitoring (GINI coefficient and unemployment rate, disaggregated by age and sex, for the domain of economic security/income; and percentage of children of primary school age not enrolled for the domain of education); three new additional indicators (percentage of people aged 65 and over living alone for the domain of social connections/relationships; total household consumption for the domain of economic security/income; and percentage of the population having completed at least secondary education for the domain of education).
