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.

Note: Relative income poverty refers to the share of people with household disposable income below 50% of the national median; financial
insecurity refers to the share of individuals who are not income poor, but whose liquid financial assets are insufficient to support them at the
level of the national relative income poverty line for at least three months; housing cost overburden refers to the share of households in the
bottom 40% of the income distribution spending more than 40% of their disposable income on housing costs; and low satisfaction with life and
with time use refer to the share of the population rating their satisfaction as 4 or lower (on a 0-10 scale).
