Abstract
This research tries to establish the relation between the quality of regional government and the regional well-being. Making use of data of the OECD ‘Regional Well-Being Index’ and the ‘European Quality of Government Index’, the research is based on a quantitative analysis. The well-being index consists of eleven dimensions. These dimensions each cover a different aspect of well-being. Eleven simple linear regressions examined nine out of the eleven dimensions to be significant. Education, jobs, accessibility to services, income, housing, community, life satisfaction, environment and civic engagement all turns out to be positively correlated to the quality of regional government. Safety and health appear to have no proven relation to the quality of regional well-being. Further research should dig deeper into the different dimensions individually.
