Dobrostan (well-being) jest pojęciem wieloaspektowym obejmującym czynniki wpływające na satysfakcję z życia. Celem artykułu jest ocena dobrostanu społeczeństw krajów OECD w 2013 roku, na podstawie danych z bazy OECD Regional Well-Being. Uwzględniono 9 obszarów: dochody gospodarstw domowych, miejsce pracy, warunki zamieszkania, poziom wykształcenia, zdrowie, środowisko, bezpieczeństwo, zaangażowanie obywatelskie i dostęp do usług. Wykorzystano metodę DEA. Przedstawiono zależność efektywności od poziomu bogactwa krajów. Uzyskane wyniki umożliwiają ocenę zróżnicowania przestrzennego dobrostanu w krajach OECD oraz wskazanie jego przyczyn.

The aim of this paper is to assess the well-being of the societies of OECD countries in 2013, based on data from the OECD Regional Well-Being database. Nine areas are included: household income, place of work, living conditions, education, health, environment, safety, civic engagement, access to services. DEA method is applied. The dependence of efficiency on the level of wealth of countries is presented. The results allow assessing the spatial differentiation of well-being in OECD countries and identifying its causes.
