The slogan Are there more things in life than soccer? and the hashtag #more2life refers to the importance given by society to the sport, drawing attention to other important welfare factors.The initiative, created in 2011, encourages discussion about the quality of life around the world and seeks to make the population more informed and committed to the development process of public policies. With data from 34 OECD member countries and key partners such as Brazil and Russia, the index compares levels of well-being by using 11 areas. They are: housing, income, labor, community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, life satisfaction, safety and work and personal life balance.By allowing each person to rank the areas according to what he/she considers most important, the Better Life Index provides a powerful tool that can compare the concerns of citizens around the world and also to inform policy makers on which matters they should focus..
