New Zealand's Living Standards Framework Dashboard

The Living Standards Framework (LSF) is a wellbeing framework developed by the New Zealand (NZ) Treasury since 2011. In 2018, the Treasury released the LSF Dashboard, a tool to measure and track changes in well-being outcomes based on three sections: ‘our people’, ‘our country’, and ‘our future’. ‘Our people’ measures wellbeing distribution across nine domains for different population groups of New Zealanders (age, ethnicity, family type etc.). ‘Our country’ uses 38 indicators to measure 12 wellbeing domains and describe the current wellbeing of New Zealanders, with comparisons to other OECD countries. ‘Our future’ provides indicators on four resources (natural, human, social and financial/physical capitals) relevant to future wellbeing. This is the first version of the LSF dashboard, which should be updated along with the LSF in 2021.
