Abstract:
Today, both in scientific circles and among practitioners, there is growing reason to doubt the suitability of traditional macro-economic indicators to assess the level of well-being of society in general and social groups in particular. The article defines that one of the most promising and effective instruments for measuring the well-being of society in recent times has become the concept of «quality of life», which is not limited only to the study of market aspects of the socio-economic system, but also takes into account the level of satisfaction of the society’s needs in all spheres of life. Modern theoretical approaches to solving the problem of assessment of quality of life have been studied. Different interpretations of the essence of the concept of «quality of life» are characterized. A comparative analysis of both subjective (Top-Down) and objective (Bottom-Up) approaches to assessing quality of life is carried out. The benefits of using a combined approach to assessing quality of life in accordance with the concept of W. Zapf are substantiated, which implies a differentiated valuation of the quality of life in terms of states of «well-being», «deprivation», «dissonance», and «resignation». Alternative approaches to the assessment of quality of life based on the segmentation of society in the context of social, ethnic and demographic groups have been proposed, which can increase the level of information analyticity. It is identified that the availability of data on the objective and subjective indicators allows to generate important analytical information of a signal nature, on the basis of which subjects of macro- and meso-levels can conduct more balanced and efficient socio-economic policies in relation to the problem social, ethnic or demographic groups of society.

Keywords: quality of life, objective living conditions, subjective perception of quality of life, objective and subjective indicators, well-being, deprivation, dissonance, resignation.
