Quality of life: economic nature, determinants and trends assessment

Abstract

Purpose: the article examines conceptual approaches to the definition of the economic nature and determinants of quality of life. Discussion: formalizing the assessment process occurred in society, changes in the quality of life of the population and their quantification is necessary to determine the threshold value of this index, which will reflect the target state of the object, and actually received data, the achieved level of quality of life. The comparison of the actually achieved level and the target state allows the authorities to determine how satisfied the population of the region living conditions, if their activities, what tasks are still required to decide whether the conditions and resources for their implementation. Results: to obtain a true picture of the quality of life of the population it is necessary to conduct multivariate analysis of the phenomenon under study by decomposing the needs of the population and the degree of their satisfaction, to identify existing internal and external constraints determined by the conditions and resources of this territory, to build a hierarchy and classification of performance indicators as a complex multilevel system.
