EVALUATION OF THE COMPONENTS OF SOCIAL WELL-BEING OF THE POPULATION IN THE ARCTIC REGION

Abstract

In this study, the authors analyze the level of social well-being of residents of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, the whole of the Tyumen region and the average in Russia. Social well-being is calculated as the average of thrills challenges, dangers of social optimism (tactical and strategic), satisfaction with life in general. It is shown that social well-being of inhabitants of the Arctic region is not signifi cantly diff erent from the well-being of residents of neighboring, more southern districts (the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District, south of the Tyumen region). In this study is shown the factorial structure of social well-being, as well as its dynamics over the eight years of observations.
