The paper tries to give a more sophisticated picture about the changing social stratification, using the dynamic view of social reproduction processes. The study deals with the question how the labor- market mobility and changing of the household structure have an effect on some characteristics of the living conditions, first of all on the income position and on the objective and subjective deprivation. According to the hypothesis of the study, one can get more detailed information of the formation of living conditions by dynamic mirroring of the social-demographic position. The analysis is based on the Census 2001 and the Income and Living Conditions Survey 2005, which were linked on micro level. Using the database one can observe the changes for more than a four-year period. The social-demographic position and those of mobility categories mirroring their changes showed - more or less - a hierarchical structure: the more advantageous the activity-changes on personal or household level were, so were the characteristics of the living conditions.

This paper reports progress on a project to develop a set of ‘attitudinal indicators of societal progress’, as part of the wider methodological research agenda associated with the European Social Survey. It recognises the recent contribution of ‘happiness economics’ in moving the debate about the progress of societies ‘beyond GDP’, but seeks to move the agenda on in two ways. Firstly it focuses more on cognitive evaluations of society’s functioning than measures of affect like happiness. Secondly it is less concerned with the psychological wellbeing of individuals and more with the social wellbeing of aggregates, whether these are neighbourhoods, regions or nations. While the study of data relating to overall measures of individuals’ life satisfaction has a long history, the recent Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi report called for recognition of the multi-dimensional nature of wellbeing. In examining the feasibility of such an indicator set, we were constrained by two considerations: a) it must comprise items that represented a comprehensive set of domains, in order to provide a full picture of the experiences that constitute societal progress; and b) it must initially be drawn from existing cross-national surveys. Unfortunately it is currently the case that while comparative data exist for most of the key domains, these are often scattered across many different general social surveys, meaning that they can only be analysed at the aggregate level. This makes it difficult to implement another of the Stiglitz recommendations, namely that surveys should ‘assess the links between various quality-of-life domains for each person, and this information should be used when designing policies in various fields’. With this in mind, we present a prototype set of indicators that could be used to measure citizens’ perceptions of the quality of their society. The eventual aim is to field all the items together in one survey, in order to examine their inter-correlations, as well as their relationships with measures of individual life satisfaction and with socio-demographic characteristics.

In this article the authors identify peripheral municipalities and peripheral areas in the South Bohemian region (county) and monitor their social-population instability. Poor accessibility to micro-regional cores by public transport was used as the criterion to define municipalities as peripheral. Peripheral areas. Seven state-border, six county-border and nine intra-county peripheral areas were delimited in the South Bohemian region. Consequently, the authors monitored the differences between peripheral areas and their types and between peripheral municipalities, semi-peripheral municipalities, suburban municipalities and micro-regional cores (towns) on the basis of dissimilar values of defined indicators of social-population instability. Such differences are also explained in terms of the concept of spatially conditioned social exclusion. The authors defi ned and used some basic socio-economic indicators in their research: index of population development between 1971 and 2009 and between 1990 and 2009; proportion of the population in the age groups 0–14 and 65+ in 2009; rate of registered unemployment in 2009; proportion of the population with the secondary school-leaving examination in 2001; number of flats built per 1000 inhabitants between 2000 and 2008. Social-population instability was found mainly in county-border peripheral areas and also in a number of state-border peripheral areas. The authors also examined regional social policies for peripheral municipalities and peripheral areas. In the article’s theoretical discussion, and to explain regional social policies for peripheral municipalities and areas, the authors draw on the concept of social exclusion and distinguish spatially unconditioned social exclusion and spatially conditioned social exclusion, which includes social exclusion that results from living in peripheral municipalities and areas.
