About this event

Recent aggregated data suggests there exist important differences in local authority levels of wellbeing. They also describe significant changes through time in local wellbeing in certain localities. Using individual-level data from the Annual Population Survey matched to a range of local area indicators, the presentation will discuss early results of a quantitative analysis of variations in wellbeing. Our aim is to describe which factors explain local variability in wellbeing, and the extent to which area-level factors play a role over and above the effects of individual characteristics of the local population.
