Equity and inclusion (opportunity, inclusion, access, equity, discrimination)

What is this domain – and what does it tell us about wellbeing?

Feeling included and having the same opportunities as others in society is essential to wellbeing. Those who experience exclusion, discrimination, and barriers to accessing opportunities others around them have easy access to experience a range of negative consequences, which can range from poorer health outcomes to lower opportunities to earn a good income and have a good standard of living, to name a few.
