目的：本文讨论了衡量国民福祉的基本原理，并研究了在公共政策背景下使用主观导向的福祉衡量标准。近年来，无论是学术界、世界卫生组织（WHO）等政府间组织，还是包括北欧国家在内的许多欧洲国家政府，人们对福祉的概念和衡量标准越来越关注。经济指标通常被视为国家社会进步的指标，但福祉指标越来越多地被用来补充或取代这些指标。方法：严格审查世界卫生组织“健康2020”框架的福祉指标，特别关注福祉的主观方面。回顾了讨论主观指标基本原理的文献。作为背景，概述了幸福感的核心理论和测量观点，包括享乐法、幸福法和客观清单法。结果：世界卫生组织在健康和心理健康的定义中提到了福祉，但主要报告的是疾病。 “健康2020”框架标志着这种担忧的转变。 “健康2020”的主要目标之一是福祉，涉及六项核心指标。只有一个指标将幸福感视为主观体验。文献支持更广泛地使用主观指标与客观措施相结合。结论：尽管在定义和工具上缺乏共识，但国民福祉的主观和客观衡量标准可能共同有助于更全面地理解社会进步以及更广泛的健康概念。需要进一步研究，特别是在幸福指标方面。
Aims: This article discusses the rationale for measuring national well-being, and examines the use of subjectively oriented well-being measures in the context of public policy. Recent years have witnessed growing attention towards the concept and measurement of well-being, both within academic disciplines, intergovernmental organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as in many governments across Europe, including the Nordic countries. Economic indicators have commonly been regarded as proxies of societal progress of nations, but indicators of well-being have increasingly been applied in order to complement or replace these measures. Methods: Well-being indicators of the WHO “Health 2020” framework are critically examined with particular attention given to the subjective aspects of well-being. Literature discussing the rationale for subjective indicators is reviewed. As a background, central theoretical and measurement perspectives on well-being are outlined, including hedonic, eudaimonic and objective list approaches. Results: The WHO refers to well-being in definitions of health and mental health, but has primarily reported on disease. The “Health 2020” framework marked a shift in this concern. One of the main targets of “Health 2020” concerns well-being, involving six core indicators. Only one indicator refers to well-being as subjective experience. Literature supports more extensive use of subjective indicators in combination with objective measures. Conclusions: Although consensus on definitions and instruments is lacking, subjective and objective measures of national well-being may jointly contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of societal progress, as well as a broader conception of health. Further research is required, particularly with regard to eudaimonic indicators.
