The Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness (CWWH) at the Stockholm School of Economics, in collaboration with Swedbank and Sparbankerna, has released the second wave of The Wisdom Panel — a unique national study following over 2,000 Swedes aged 60 and above. The report explores how wellbeing evolves with age, income, relationships, and life experience, and what people have learned about living a good life.

Sweden is often celebrated as one of the happiest countries in the world – but what does life here really look like beneath the headlines? Drawing on one of the most comprehensive wellbeing studies ever conducted, this seminar explores how Swedes experience different aspects of their lives, including happiness, purpose, relationships, health, distress, and financial security.

As a first step towards Wellbeing Growth in Stockholm we have created and measured a Wellbeing Index among people living in Stockholm. The results are presented in our newly released Stockholm Wellbeing Index Report. There we also present the WEC (Wellbeing Equality Coefficient) and the Coffee Indicator, two unique metrics that indicate the state and potential of the people in our city.
