The homicide rate is one of the world’s highest: 21 murders per 100 000 inhabitants per year, compared to the OECD average of 2.2 (OECD, 2013c). The Better Life Index is an interactive web-based tool created to engage people in the debate on well-being and, through this process, leam what matters most to them. The tool makes it possible to compare well-being across countries according to the importance that each participant attaches to a number of topics (community, education, environment, civic engagement, health, housing, income, jobs, life satisfaction, safety and work-life balance).
