Health, Economic Structure and Social Indicators

Richard Wilkinson

No 17, CEPR Discussion Papers from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: The way in which economic development transforms the material basis of human social interaction and the widespread belief that the advanced industrial countries suffer from some kind of "social malaise" make it increasingly important to develop good indicators of the hitherto unmeasurable aspects of the quality of life. The paper discusses the possibility of identifying aspects of a population's health which could be used as indicators of otherwise unmeasurable subjective aspects of the quality of life.
