Wellbeing economics: a prescription letter

A SPENDING REVIEW TO INCREASE WELLBEING
An open letter to the Chancellor

UK has setup an All-Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics. That's great!. If there is one thing that should be on the public agenda is wellbeing. However, after reading the last report it's a little bit disappointing. The have decided 6 priorities to take into account in the spending review according to its importance on wellbeing.

  1. Health: Scaling up treatment of mental illness
  2. Education: Tackling children’s wellbeing in schools 
  3. Further Education: A proper start to working life
  4. Social care and community services: Investing in social support networks
  5. Work: Better wellbeing leads to better productivity
  6. Other priority areas
Not so easy...as they say, It's just a letter...
