Social well-being as an integral indicator of subjective assessment of well-being of the population
In this article, the authors propose a new vision of methodological and procedural processes of sociological measurement of the category “social well-being,” as well as its use as a part of subjective measurement systems as a subjective indicator as a part of determination of integral values of different measurement models of life support of the population, including as a part of technology of assessment of the quality of life of the population. The proposed author’s system of content and technology of evaluation procedures is focused on availability of the minimal research resources and limited access to the existing statistical systems.The authors propose a critical assessment of the standard methods currently used, based mainly on an analysis of economic efficiency as a component of social well- being. At present, there is a need to find new indicators for measuring the well-being of the population, which go beyond the material approach, which is based on the integration of economic and sociological methods. To date, this situation has been recognized at the world level. International organizations propose to include an assessment of social well- being in addition to the traditional methods of assessing the well-being of population.
