| Abstract | This chapter introduces the well-being indicators to a broader audience through composite indices. Composite indices can be a useful tool for communication, since trends of multidimensional phenomena can be grasped more easily than across the many individual indicators. The chapter offers a summary picture of well-being in Mexican states obtained by normalising and aggregating the indicators for each dimension into a single score. Scores are defined on a relative scale, with the national averages at the most recent year equal to 100, which allows direct comparison among well-being dimensions and over time in a state. The chapter also discusses ways to improve the use of well-being indicators throughout the policy cycle (design, implementation and evaluation of policies). Finally, it provides indications of the statistical challenges ahead to improving the measurement of well-being at the sub-national level in Mexico. |
