Projet PIBien-être

The "Projet PIBien-être" is the first official initiative for measuring well-being and quality of life in Luxembourg.

In 2013, a joint commission led by the Conseil économique et social, the Conseil supérieur pour un développement durable and the Observatoire de la Compétitivité introduced a set of indicators measuring the quality of life in Luxembourg. The conclusions of the commission were summarised in a document titled "Projet PIBien-être", which identified 64 indicators belonging to 11 different domains to assess quality of life in Luxembourg.

In 2015, within the "Projet PIBien-être", STATEC (National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg) presented a preliminary analysis of the "Luxembourgish Index of Well-being" (LIW), a first proposal of synthetic indicator measuring the quality of life in Luxembourg. The presentation entitled "Preliminary Assessment of Quality of Life in Luxembourg" was delivered by Marcin Piekałkiewicz on 16 December 2015.

The results were published by STATEC in 2016 in "Rapport travail et cohésion sociale".
