A framework for development practice
Sarah White, Centre for Development Studies, University of Bath
Abstract
This paper is a piece of advocacy for the use of wellbeing analysis
in social and development policy and practice, drawing on the work
of the Wellbeing in Developing Countries Research Group (WeD) at
the University of Bath, UK. The paper offers a simple definition
of wellbeing, and then explores the three basic dimensions that
this comprises. It notes some potential hazards in taking wellbeing
as focus, and concludes by
considering what difference a focus on wellbeing could make to
social and development practice.
