This indicator explores the relationship between mental health and well-being, on the one hand, and long-term care and/or childcare responsibilities, on the other hand.
In particular, the indicator shows what percentage (%) or respondents belongs to each of four levels of mental health and well-being according to the WHO-5 Welbeing Index. The Index values range from 0 (lowest level of mental well-being) to 100 (highest level of mental well-being). For the purposes of this indicator, respondents' mental well-being has been classified into four levels depending on the value of the Index: (1) High (>=80); (2) Average (51–79); (3) Low (29–50); (4) Very low (<=28). The thresholds have been largely based on existing research on the interpretation of the Index.
The percentages have been computed separately for each of four groups of respondents defined by their care responsibilities:
