Abstract

The article presents the study and synthesis of international and Russian experience in assessing quality of life of the general population. The issues of studying the quality of life of the population become relevant again in the light of the realization of national goals and strategic development objectives: both in the country and in the regional aspect. In the Soviet times, scholars investigated the way of life of the population and the quality of life of the population including of indicators of labor, working time, environment and several sectoral indicators. In the 1990s, new calculations of indexes and complex indicators for the country and its large regions were developed. The authors summarized new approaches in developing methods for assessing the quality of life in Russia, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. These are the techniques proposed by such famous scientists as Osipov G. V., Ayvazyan S. A., Rimashevskaya N. M., Bobkov V. N. and others. It is still an open discussion about how to create such a methodology for assessing the quality of life of the general population, which would be able to reflect the territorial, national, cultural and socio-economic diversity and the individualities of the Russian regions. Many Russian researchers are turning to foreign experience, which is also summarized by authors, noting the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Methods such as the HDI (Human Development Index), PQLI and PSLI (Physical Quality of Life Index), Triangular Nation Welfare Index, SNA (System of National Accounts), EIU Quality of Life Index and the Happiness Index NEF are analyzed. The calculated HDI data for 2018 showed that Russia ranked 49th in the world with an index of 0.816. A study of the happiness index, conducted by the New Economic Foundation in 2016, determined that Russia for this indicator ranked 116th in the world with an index of 18.7. The analysis showed that international methods for assessing the quality of life are also imperfect, because they do not fully reflect the diverse aspects of quality of life. Russian and international experiences show that there is currently no universal method for assessing the quality of life of the general population and the current methods need further development.
