Abstract

The article deals with the issues of improvement of statistics of population welfare. This category has many aspects and for this reason a system of indicators is normally used for analysis. However, the lack of a single synthetic indicator of the level of living limits the analysis of social processes. In this connection the proposal to compute a new index of economic welfare put forward by two Canadian researches - L. Osberg and A. Sharpe - is discussed in the article.
