OECD (2013) points out that measuring well-being helps us better understand poverty as
poverty and human wellbeing are closely connected - multidimensional poverty is simply
another way to describe wellbeing failures. While there can be a universal framework for
measuring wellbeing this must be adapted at country and sub-national levels to ensure
relevance. In a similar vein, Manolom & Promphakping, (2016) emphasises the need to take
social and cultural concepts into account as wellbeing is essentially a social and cultural
construct.
