Welcome to Module 9: Wellbeing policy impact assessments

Designing policies for a wellbeing economy requires policymakers to be aware of the impact of their policy on a wide range of wellbeing outcomes, early on in the policy development process. 

This module:

  • describes five overarching considerations to guide prospective wellbeing policy impact assessments. Some of these considerations already feature in the work of governments around the world; others require further attention.  

  • helps policymakers identify which impact considerations might be missing from their existing processes. 

  • offers practical examples of how prospective wellbeing impact assessments are being applied, drawing on case studies from around the world.
