The relevance of well-being indices is analyzed; it is also proven the interrelation of well-being indices with the traditional socio-economic indicators. It is defined that the correct assessment of well-being achieved by using objective-subjective indices, which take into account the statistical data as well as subjective opinion of the population.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В связи с отсутствием единого подхода к определению благосостояния и методов его оценки, в статье систематизированы известные в литературе методы, основанные на построении индексов благосостояния, проанализированы их особенности, а также показатели, которые они включают. Предложена классификация данных индексов в соответствии с тремя теоретическими подходами: объективистским (с опорой на данные официальной статистики), субъективистским (учитывающим субъективное мнение населения) и объективно-субъективистским, комбинирующим оба упомянутых подхода. Проведен анализ релевантности индексов благосостояния и показана их взаимосвязь с традиционными социально-экономическими показателями на основе многомерного статистического анализа. По мнению авторов, корректная оценка благосостояния достигается при использовании индексов в рамках объективно-субъективистского подхода.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>well-being</kwd><kwd>socio-economic indicators</kwd><kwd>green GDP</kwd><kwd>human development index (HDI)</kwd><kwd>happy planet index (HPI)</kwd><kwd>better life index (BLI)</kwd><kwd>Legatum prosperity index (LPI)</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>благосостояние</kwd><kwd>социально-экономические показатели</kwd><kwd>зеленый ВВП</kwd><kwd>индекс человеческого развития (HDI)</kwd><kwd>индекс счастливой планеты (HPI)</kwd><kwd>индекс лучшей жизни (BLI)</kwd><kwd>индекс процветания (LPI)</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Aivazyan S.A., Stepanov V.S., Kozlova M.I.
