Designing a Modern Welfare Index

Imagine you are an economist tasked with creating a new national 'Wellbeing Index' for a country. Your approach is guided by a philosophy that societal welfare is not captured by financial metrics alone, but must also include broader concepts of human happiness and social conditions. Propose three distinct non-financial indicators you would include in this index. For each indicator, justify why it is a crucial component for measuring societal welfare beyond traditional economic output.
