Hello All

The Office for National Statistics is currently debating how to measure the nation's well-being. They want to measure 'how society is doing' by looking at more than just the dry stats like GDP.

But before they can start measuring, they want to know what is most important in your life and in the lives of your family.

Is it what you earn or is it the time you spend with your family? Does the value of your house count, or is the state of the environment more important?

If you'd like to let them know what's important to you, please do post below or join the debate here.

Hi Eleison

Good point re campaigns, couldn't really work out where to put it, didn't seem a natural fit to most categories, but will move it to product test/ feedback to avoid any confusion.

We were asked by ONS to host this debate, particularly because they wanted to hear mums views, and this is one way of doing so. Obviously those who don't want to contribute, don't have to.

BecauseI'mWorthIt - think you're right, this is part of the much bigger consultation - details here

Hiya - thanks for all your comments so far. Know the ONS have been reading closely!

Our friends at Race Online, have also been asked their views, and would love to hear yours, about how new technology impacts on our happiness?

As families and government use the internet more, is it impacting our happiness, and what about those that still don't have reliable, or indeed any, access to the internet?

Thanks v. much.

Katie
