		Social Wellbeing Product   The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is exploring existing indicators and datasets that measure societal wellbeing beyond economic growth. Measuring societal wellbeing is one of the Office for National Statistics's current analytical priorities, along with children and young people, ageing and public sector productivity. It was identified as a priority issue and as the underlying theme for Social Trends 38, because for an increasing number of public policy needs, and in political and public debate, there is more to life than GDP. ONS has currently released 'Measuring Societal Wellbeing', and plans to publish additional reports that fully embrace its past, present and future outputs in order to feed into the evaluation of wellbeing.
