abstract: 'The ongoing COVID-19 crisis and measures aimed at curbing the pandemic

  have a widespread impact on various aspects of well-being, such as

  housing, social connections, and others. Moreover, COVID-19 does not

  affect all population groups equally. This study analyzes the impact of

  major COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) on a set of

  national well-being indicators from the most recent version of the OECD

  Well-Being Framework. Using causal loop diagrams (systems maps), we

  consider direct and indirect effects of these policies on various

  components of the national well-being system. Our results show that

  business closures directly and/or indirectly impact more national

  well-being components than any other policy. The most affected national

  well-being components by all policies are life satisfaction, perceived

  health, and prevalence of depressive symptoms. In addition, we specify

  how the impact of the anti-pandemic measures differs for various

  population strata, using the degree of income and employment loss as key

  stratifying variables. Our insights can be helpful to identify and

  promote measures that can alleviate the adverse effects of the COVID-19

  crisis on the national well-being.'
