The Treasury has released what it calls its first "big picture" overview of wellbeing in Aotearoa.
It says the report will establish a lasting evidence base that can be used by the Treasury and other organisations to understand the trends, distribution and sustainability of wellbeing.
Among the findings are that younger New Zealanders are doing far worse in key areas of life than older people - suffering higher levels of psychological distress and declining educational achievement.
The Treasury's chief economic adviser, Dominick Stephens spoke to Corin Dann.
