NOIPolls joins international body, IWbG

Nigeria’s leading survey and opinion polling organisation, NOIPolls Limited, has been admitted as a member of the prestigious International Well Being Group (IWbG).

The IWbG is a consortium of more than 150 researchers in over 50 countries which aims to develop the Personal Wellbeing Index into a valid cross-cultural measure of subjective wellbeing.

A statement by NOIPolls Ltd weekend in Abuja said that the admission of the company to the global body was due to the recently introduced NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index (PWBI) as part of its portfolio of indices which was released to the public on February 11, 2014.

The NOIPolls Personal Well-Being Index measures factors impacting on the lives of everyday Nigerians, thereby producing a holistic view of the average individual’s personal well-being.

It explained that from November 2001, an international collaborative network gradually assembled with the aim of developing a brief, standard index to measure population subjective wellbeing. The International Wellbeing Group currently involves researchers from a number of countries. Each researcher intends to try the index in their own country.
