Dynamics of Economic Well-Being

Personal or household income is generally regarded as the single best measure of the degree to which people are "well off." But other factors also contribute to people’s well-being.

Extended measures of well-being gauge how people are faring at the household level. Included are possession of consumer durables, housing and neighborhood conditions, and the meeting of basic needs.

Indicators of children’s well-being are used to take a closer account of how well children progress to adulthood and include measures of cognitive development, social interactions, health, and successful completion of school.
