Abstract


Abstract Starting from the interest for the relationships between labour status and subjective well-being, we focused analysis upon European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions 2013 ad-hoc module on subjective well-being. Following the OECD Guidelines on Measuring Subjective Well-being (2013), we assumed the multidimensionality of well-being as a premise. In order to preserve the multidimensionality of the concept of SWB, we applied an aggregating method based on partial ordering. This note compare results of Partial Ordering methodology with results of other aggregating methods.

Abstract Muovendo dall’interesse per il rapporto tra stato lavorativo e benessere soggettivo, questo studio si concentra sul modulo ad-hoc sul benessere soggettivo dell’Indagine europea sul reddito e sulle condizioni di vita (Eu-SILC) 2013. In accordo con le Linee guida OCSE sulla misurazione del benessere soggettivo (2013), assumiamo in premessa la multidimensionalità del benessere soggettivo. Per preservare tale multidimensionalità, è stato adottato un metodo di aggregazione delle dimensioni del benessere basato sull'ordinamento parziale. Questo contributo confronta i risultati della metodologia di Ordinamento Parziale con i risultati di altri metodi di aggregazione.

 

Key words: Subjective Well-being indicators, Decent work, Partial Ordering Methodology.
