WELL-MIG will measure the effect of various individual and contextual factors, including the implications of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, on the subjective well-being of different population groups. To do this, the project will:

• jointly analyze various official surveys conducted in European countries, including Italy, in the period 2015-2022 (WP1);
• develop new indicators and interpretative models on SWB, based on non-aggregative approaches, and integrating them with traditional ones and
• analyze social media data to investigate the characteristics and dynamics of the relationship between the population’s subjective well-being and immigration (WP2);
• study the life stories of immigrants to understand their SWB before and after the migration experience, also in relation to the acquisition of citizenship (WP3).

The WELL-MIG project has important implications not only for science, but also for social cohesion and policymaking. In fact, the project aims to increase awareness of the importance of developing up-to-date survey data and formulating new indicators on SWB at the European level. Furthermore, the work of WELL-MIG will contribute to a deeper understanding of the SWB level of the immigrant population and assist policymakers in implementing factors that improve the population’s SWB.
