description
The latest personal well-being estimates suggest year-on-year improvements in reported well-being since 2011/12, when ONS started to collect the data. Over this three-year period, there have been small but significant improvements in average personal well-being ratings in each UK country and across all four measures of well-being. The proportions of people reporting the highest levels of personal well-being have grown since 2011/12 for each of the four measures. The greatest gain has been in reduced anxiety levels. The proportion of people in the UK reporting very low anxiety grew between 2011/12 and 2013/14. There were also reductions in the proportions of people in the UK rating their well-being at the lowest levels for all of the measures. In 2013/14, people in Northern Ireland gave higher ratings for each aspect of their personal well-being on average than those in any other UK country. This has been the case in each year since ONS began collecting the data. In 2013/14, people in London reported lower personal well-being on average for each of the measures than the equivalent UK averages, but since 2011/12 London has had improvements across all the average measures of well-being. Since 2011/12, average ratings of personal well-being have improved significantly across all measures in the West Midlands. The region also had the lowest average anxiety rating of any English region in 2013/14.
