The wellbeing of the population has long been a concern for central governments but over time, the measurement of how a country is doing has come to rely largely on economic benchmarks such as average revenue or Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In a rapidly changing world, faced with a global pandemic, economic uncertainly, and climate change, a turn towards a more robust and people-centred way of accounting for how populations are faring has been undertaken in several jurisdictions. This turn toward wellbeing policy-making practices leads us to wonder what role public health can and has played. This webinar introduces the recent trend toward wellbeing policy-making by looking at how this change has emerged and especially, reports on the wellbeing policies of four central governments. By looking at how the policies put forth in Scotland, New Zealand, Finland, and Wales are structured, we look at how these policies connect with public health concerns and how the role that public health plays in these cases.
