Methodological Aspects of Assessing the Quality of Life of Re-gions’ Residents

Abstract

The paper is devoted to developing a set of techniques for assessing the quality of life in regions. The authors’ proposed system of indicators is not universal, but it does help to demonstrate the significance of social partnership at the regional level. The study’s findings help to come to the conclusion that a crucial objective is to cultivate in people the knowledge about human rights and decent work, their own rights and ways to protect them, social protection. The authors prove that assessments of quality of life depend on both a region’s economic characteristics and its residents’ overall satisfaction with life, work, healthcare, and environmental conditions. The authors’ study has revealed that in the climate of social and economic instability the process of improving people’s quality of life requires substantial modernization, primarily in the area of determining specific directions and ways of diversifying the key sources of moral satisfaction and income of the population.
