Cross-Country Comparison of Human Well-Being in the European OECD Member States

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

There is a great debate on the link between the country&apos;s economic performance and human well-being in the economics. According to the wider consensus, growth of the GDP p.c. is no longer seen as the appropriate indicator for the measurement of the progress in human development and well-being, because of their multidimensionality. Therefore, some alternative measures were introduced. They offer possibility for measurement of the progress in well-being as well as for cross-country comparison.The aim of this paper is to classify and sort the European OECD Member States with respects to their achievements in the field of human development and well-being in the year 2015. In order to meet this aim, we briefly describe the theoretical framework of the human development and well-being and explain two possible approaches to the measurement of them. Our conclusions are based on a review of the relevant scientific sources and on the own statistical analysis. We applied two possible approaches to the measurement of the human well-being, namely Human Development Index and Better Life Index. We found out that significant disparities in human well- being between analysed countries concerned especially material living standard. The highest level or human well-being was recorded in Norway, the lowest in Hungary.
