It is estimated that the Portuguese Well-being Index (WBI) have increased in 2023, being close to that of 2019.

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 areas that make up the WBI showed a positive evolution from 2004 to 2023. The factors that showed the most favourable evolution were personal security, education, knowledge and skills, and economic well-being.
