Years of good life is a well-being indicator designed to serve research on sustainability

In this paper, the authors introduced a new indicator of human wellbeing called “Years of good Life” (YoGL). This indicator builds on the length of life (i.e. average life expectancy), but since mere survival is not considered enough also incorporates four central constituents of human wellbeing: being out of absolute poverty, enjoying physical and cognitive health, and stating subjective life satisfaction above a minimal level.
