Note: This chart shows Colombia’s relative strengths and weaknesses in well-being compared to other OECD countries. Longer bars always
indicate better outcomes (i.e. higher wellbeing), whereas shorter bars always indicate worse outcomes (lower well-being) – including for
negative indicators, marked with an *, which have been reverse-scored. Inequalities (gaps between top and bottom, differences between groups,
people falling under a deprivation threshold) are shaded with stripes, and missing data in white.
