Towards a sustainable well-being

Given the need of a new economic paradigm for the achievement of a world of sustainable wellbeing, this paper presents the main findings from the literature on sustainable well-being. We try to identify a few approaches of measurement, highlighting strengths and weaknesses. We analyzed Romania's position in the global context in terms of happiness index. Are sustainable well-being indicators a good guide for policy-making? Also, the paper discusses the role of education in ensuring the sustainable well-being.
