Abstract: Abstract Equitable and sustainable well-being (in Italian, “BES”) has become an integral part of the decision-making process of economic and financial planning. By now, the needs of up-to-date and accurate measures of BES at local level is certain. Among BES indicators, several are obtained from Labour Force Survey (LFS) data. LFS provided estimates keeping with the highest quality and methodology standards required by the new Integrated European Social Statistics (IESS) framework regulation. The aim of this paper is to extend recent improvements in LFS variance estimation methodology also to BES indicators computed on LFS data. The direct consequence is that, besides estimates, accuracy measures can be provided. This can help researchers and decision makers to analyze the performance among the Italian regions and their evolution over time.
