The most influential factors in the United Kingdom are, in this order, self-reported health, employment status, perceived freedom of choice and the state of the environment. Indicators of material living standards, such as income or wealth, have a much smaller effect, in line with other OECD countries. All else equal, doubling income increases average wellbeing by only 0.1 units, in a scale of life satisfaction ranging from 1 to 10. This compares to larger well-being losses associated to becoming unemployed, 0.45 points, or gains from perceived health, for which a one point improvement (for example, from good to very good health) yields a 0.5 points increase in life satisfaction.
