The Thriving Metric
This Thriving metric, which is generated by Gallup, measures a society's well-being through survey polls. It represents the percentage of people rating their current and future lives positively enough to be considered 'thriving'. Since 2006, the UK Thriving metric has been around 50%, then there was a drop to 40% between 2013 and 2015, before a steady increase back up to 50% in 2018. |
Age Breakdown
Over the last 10-12 years, the 15-29 year old age group has had a consistently lower 'Thriving' metric rating than the older generations. However, it has been gradually increasing since 2013. The 50+ year old age group increased between 2013 and 2016, before a slight drop in 2017 & 2018. Whereas, the 30-49 year old group were the most 'thriving' of the 3 until 2013, when there was a decrease until 2016 but has started to recover. |
