Economy of Well-being

The aim of the AgeFLAG project was to contribute to the health and wellbeing of older adults and, therefore, to make the societies more inclusive. Through national and regional needs assessments, the project identified the most important issues in relation to active and healthy ageing that the NDPHS partner countries face. The roadmap proposes joint activities that could be undertaken within the NDPHS context to address the regional needs. This roadmap presents a selection of these activities that the Partnership has committed to undertaking in the upcoming 2-3 years.

The report on the follow-up of the Baltic Sea Youth Declaration 2020 lists the recommendations given to the PA Health in the EUSBSR and how the NDPHS as a PA Health coordinator has acted on them. The document lists concrete actions that have been achieved so far and what are the future plans and commitments of the PA Health in order to amplify the voices of young people in our region.

How are we doing as individuals, communities and as nations, and how sustainable is that for the future? In this conversation, we discuss the Economy of Well-being that puts people and their wellbeing at the centre of policy and decision-making. We start with Finland – one of the frontrunners of implementing the Economy of Well-being. The guest expert is Anni Marttinen, Chief Economist at SOSTE – Finnish Social Welfare and Health Association.
