The Stockholm Wellbeing Index has a new digital home - stockholmwellbeingindex.com
Together with Stockholm Business Region, Region Stockholm and Stockholms Handelskammare the Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness at the Stockholm School of Economics (CWWH) have set the goal for Stockholm to be in Wellbeing Growth. To follow, explain and promote Wellbeing Growth in Stockholm, CWWH is measuring the Wellbeing Index in Stockholm every quarter.
CWWH is now launching an interactive platform that lets you explore these questions for yourself. Follow wellbeing over time, explore differences across the population and read our insights into the factors associated with wellbeing. From now on, we will publish new quarterly results and commentary directly on the platform, replacing our quarterly reports. Earlier reports remain available on the SSE website.
The latest results, for Q3 2026, offer a first look:
• Wellbeing is slightly higher than a year ago. The Wellbeing Index is 7.00 out of 10, compared with 6.75 in Q3 2025. This increase is statistically significant; the difference from the previous quarter is not.
• Wellbeing is more evenly distributed than both in the previous quarter and at the same time last year.
• People who feel more able to shape their lives also tend to report higher wellbeing. This quarter’s theme is agency: our perceived ability to influence our own lives.
The platform also invites you to reflect on your own wellbeing, consider your priorities and share your reflections with others.
