Synopsis

In this monograph, the authors conducted the comparative analysis of the methodological approaches to the study of different aspects of life following the population surveys, including the use of subjective assessments that are currently applied in the OECD, the European Union, the CIS, and others. The methodology and findings of the well-being survey are considered in detail, taking into account the subjective component in official statistics of Ukraine, which is carried out on the basis of the sample survey of household living conditions. The overall self-assessment of the country’s population of their life, level of income, poverty, living conditions, health status, nutrition, accessibility of modern means of communication, and other characteristics of conditions and quality of life are analyzed over time.
