Coraz powszechniej akceptowany jest pogląd, że wzrost gospodarczy mierzony jako PKB nie prowadzi automatycznie do większego zadowolenia ludzi z życia. Nawet Human Development Raport, który uwzględnia długość życia, edukację i dochód w perspektywie porównawczej w różnych krajach, nie jest na tyle kompletny, aby opisać dobrobyt, dobrostan i jakość życia. Opracowanie lepszych strategii walki z wykluczeniem społecznym i niezadowoleniem wśród ludzi wymaga dokładniejszych danych empirycznych na temat obiektywnych struktur i rozwoju, jak również na temat ich percepcji i oceny. Tymczasem w środowisku akademickim istnieją kontrowersje dotyczące zakresu znaczeniowego takich ogólnych pojęć jak dobrobyt, dobrostan i jakość życia. Mimo braku powszechnie akceptowanych definicji, obserwujemy postęp w zakresie pomiaru, w rezultacie którego otrzymujemy wystarczające informacje dla społeczeństwa i polityków, pozwalające zmieniać na lepsze sytuację, podwyższać jakość życia ludzi.

More and more it is accepted that economic growth measured as GDP will not automatically lead to greater satisfaction in people’s lives. Even the Human Development Report which provides a comparative view of life expectancy, schooling and income in different countries, is not comprehensive enough to describe welfare, well-being and quality of life. To design better strategies for fighting social exclusion and dissatisfaction among people we need better empirical data on objective structures and development as well as on their subjective perceptions. However, the broad concepts of welfare, well-being and quality of life do not enjoy common acceptance within the academic community. Nevertheless, there is progress concerning more appropriate measures for receiving enough information for the public and the politicians to improve the overall situation concerning the quality of life.
