If you look to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, wellbeing isn't even the top criteria, it's just one of many. Whereas, if you look at OECD Regional Wellbeing, it is of course, right at the top. For the Legatum Prosperity Index, prosperity is of course the over-arching goal (but is properity just another measure for wellbeing?).
