AB This paper addresses the multidimensional nature of the concept of student well-beingfrom a multiple criteria decision making perspective, specifically differentiating betweenthe social, physical, and mental dimensions. The main purpose is to analyze how the wellbeing levels among Spanish students could be improved. Using PISA 2022 data, threeindexes of student well-being are constructed: social, physical and mental. Usingeconometric tools, a multiobjective optimization model is developed to simultaneouslymaximize the three proposed indexes. The resulting analysis makes it possible to evaluatethe real possibilities for improving the three well-being dimensions and the scenarios thatwould make it possible (i.e., socio-educational context for the students). It allowsforeseeing the impact of the change in one of the indexes on the other two. In addition,existing correlations between students' socio-educational characteristics are introducedinto the model to represent the student’s context as realistically as possible. The resultsindicate that students who seek to optimize their well-being from the triple perspectiveadopted (physical, social, and mental) must make trade-offs between the indicators inorder to achieve a balanced solution.
