Wellbeing and policy : evidence for action : a review and consideration for Scotland

Abstract

ew publication "Wellbeing and Policy" provides timely insights for Scotland's ongoing economic development discussions. The comprehensive analysis examines how countries worldwide are embedding wellbeing frameworks into their policy-making processes, with Scotland recognised alongside New Zealand and Iceland as a pioneering example of this approach. However, the book's extensive international evidence reveals both significant opportunities for Scotland to enhance its already substantial wellbeing policy infrastructure and critical lessons for other regions seeking similar transformation. Following the recent book launch as part of Wellbeing Economy Alliance - WEAll, I wanted to spend some time exploring key learning and reflecting on the insights from the editors and authors including Marie Briguglio, Natalia Czap and Kate Laffan.
