THEORETICAL ISSUES AND SOCIAL-INDICATORS - SOCIETAL PROCESS APPROACH Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Well-being involves various levels: the individual, the institutional-distributive, and the societal. These levels are interrelated. Social indicators of well-being must be theoretically based so as to take into account these levels. A societal process model is proposed to describe the levels of society and the nature of well-being at each level. Social indicator types regarding the output and distribution of well-being, the effect of policy manipulatable and nonmanipulatable inputs, and the secondary consequences of inputs are suggested and examples are provided. 1977 Elsevier Scientific Publishing Company.
