Wellbeing

Wellbeing is about living a good life, not just surviving.
In Aotearoa, wellbeing includes things like:

  • good health
  • safe housing
  • meaningful work
  • strong communities
  • a healthy environment
  • cultural belonging
  • dignity and security

A wellbeing economy asks: Does our system help people and nature flourish?
Tax is one of the most powerful wellbeing tools we have, because it funds the public services and infrastructure that make life liveable.
