It is estimated that the 2024’s value of the Portuguese Well-being Index (WBI) has reached the highest level of the series, which began in 2004.

The WBI illustrates developments in well-being using ten synthetic indices. These indices reveal two dimensions: Material Living Conditions and Quality of Life.

The two perspectives of well-being analysis showed different behaviours. The Quality of Life index was always higher than that of the Material Living Conditions, except for 2009 and from 2021 onwards.

Eight of the ten domains that make up the WBI showed a positive evolution from 2004 to 2024. The ones that showed the most favourable evolution were education, knowledge and skills, personal security and economic well-being.
