ISQOLS 2025 Keynote: "Well-being Cost-Benefit Analysis & Policy Impact", by Lord Richard Layard

ISQOLS 2025 Annual Conference Keynote, "Well-being Cost-Benefit Analysis: Achieving Impact Through Clear Policy and Messaging" by Lord Richard Layard Recorded 23 July, 2025 High praise from the esteemed Lord Richard Layard, who opened his keynote noting that ‪@isqols‬ is the organization which, more than any other, embodies his core belief: "The only thing that really matters in life is the quality of life… that’s the overarching good that we ought to be pursuing in our society.' With this powerful principle as his starting point, Lord Richard Layard, founding director of the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, delivers a compelling case for reshaping public policy around human well-being. In this keynote, Layard argues for applying cost-benefit analysis across all areas of government policy—using life satisfaction as the ultimate measure of benefit. Drawing on decades of pioneering research in well-being economics, he explores: ✅ The power of using life satisfaction as a single, clear measure for policy evaluation ✅ Why a unified, simple approach to well-being metrics beats multi-dimensional frameworks ✅ How mental health investments pay off both in well-being and economic terms ✅ The importance of clear public messaging around happiness, inspired by Action for Happiness ✅ Concrete ways policymakers can use well-being science to improve lives at scale Whether your focus is public policy, economics, or advancing the science of happiness, this talk offers evidence-based insights on how putting quality of life at the center of decision-making can redefine societal progress. 📄 Learn more about ISQOLS: https://isqols.org 💬 Share your thoughts and help spread this message by commenting and sharing. #ISQOLS2025 #RichardLayard #WellbeingEconomics #Happiness #MentalHealth #PolicyImpact #CostBenefitAnalysis #LifeSatisfaction #ActionForHappiness #PublicPolicy #QualityOfLife #WellbeingScience #ISQOLS
