 Measurement of Quality of Life and Well-Being in France: The Drivers of Subjective Well-BeingJean-Luc Tavernier, Philippe Cuneo and Claire Plateau Review of Income and Wealth, 2015, vol. 61, issue 1, 25-33 Abstract: type="main"> Ever since the publication of the Stiglitz Report, France has been heavily involved in the measurement of well-being. The French Statistical Institute (INSEE) has expanded the scope of its existing surveys. It has also launched an innovative experimental survey which, drawing upon a single statistical source, aims for the first time to explore the different dimensions of both objective and subjective quality of life, as highlighted in the Stiglitz Report. It allows us to study, at the individual level, correlations between these dimensions and the accumulation of deprivations. It has enabled us to better understand the links between determinants generally referred to as objective dimensions of quality of life (such as health or education) and subjective well-being. This information is of paramount importance for policy makers who cannot act directly on the level of people's satisfaction but can only act upon the levers of objective dimensions. This paper presents the main findings of the experimental survey.
