The scientific literature addressing human wellbeing is
rapidly expanding in economics, psychology, sociology, and the health sciences,
and is also becoming increasingly important in interdisciplinary studies of
sustainable development. A large number of wellbeing indicators have been
proposed in order to quantitatively capture and monitor progress towards better
human wellbeing and study its determinants. Many of these indicators have
demographic components such as life expectancy or studies explicitly address
age- and gender-specific differentials in economic standing, life satisfaction,
health/disability or consider other demographic differentials.
