Society is a hugely complex, interconnected “system of systems” - of relationships, of policies, of services, of countless visible and invisible interactions, influences, and impacts. Improving wellbeing in one system will often have positive impacts on others and on the whole. A key goal of the (Canadian Index of Wellbeing (CIW) is to identify and understand the connections between the eight domains - each of which represents a system - and the many factors that influence overall wellbeing. Using 64 indicators that reflect aspects of our everyday lives, the CIW combines data, theory, and practice to come up with new solutions to boost different aspects of wellbeing - either simultaneously or in succession.
