Standard and quality of living
Abstract
The author points to the complexity of determining the standard and quality of living in
theory and practice. He stresses the need to develop various sources of information and sociostatistical
tools of their analysis within a so-called Integrated System of Household Research.
In t h e article the author:
— defines the standard of living and discusses synthetic and analytic measures of its determining;
— defines the concept of the "quality of living" and subjective and objective measures allowing
to assess its changes;
— points to the advantages and disadvantages of household budget research, agricultural accounting
of farms and other forms of research as sources of information on different aspects
of t h e standard and quality of living; and
— makes a synthetic review and evaluation of the outcome of the research on the quality of living
in the early 90s in Poland. Among the conclusions concerning the improvement of the system of analyzing t h e standard
and quality of living mention should be made of:
— the need to analyze the standard and quality of living in conjunction with the economic,
demographic, sociological and psychological factors shaping the standard and quality of living;
— the need to include into the research new socio-economic groups (self-employed families and
so-called free professions);
— the need to adjust the classification of revenues and expenses of t h e population to Western
European standards;
— the need to improve the methodology of estimating living expenses, and the methodology
of calculating income and real pay;
— the need to develop and improve the research not only on the standard of living, but also on
the "quality of living", in order to fully employ these categories to solving various social policy
problems.
