The significance of societal well-being and the possibility of its research in the contemporary Hungarian society I. Quality of life, economic growth, and the National Well-being Index

The aim of the work is to use the mathematical modeling apparatus to discover the relationship between real indicators of economic growth and well-being of the population with the quality of life of individual citizens. The subjective perception of the quality of life by the subject and the researcher makes this problem quite difficult for mathematical formalization. Digitalization of all types of human activity becomes one of the problematic aspects for modeling its status in the surrounding society. On the other hand, it allows you to Bank available solutions to the main tasks in human activity to create a comfortable living environment. The technique of formalization is considered and applied from the standpoint of General laws of motion and time dynamics of processes in natural environments (mechanical, electrical, biological systems), which may have a damping or exponential-wave character. Based on the proposed dependent equations, we offer a minimum list of factors that are necessary for the construction of predictive models. Taking into account the proposed factors, prognostic models are made that allow determining the current state of human quality of life with a sufficiently high probability in connection with the dynamic characteristics of the environment and socio-economic conditions of its life.

The historical role of agriculture in economic geography and recent conceptual developments – including multifunctional agriculture (MFA), the new economic geography, amenity-driven growth, and the “world is flat” and “creative class” hypotheses – are examined, and recent empirical research in NorthAmerica and Europe is reviewed, in order to assess the potential for MFA as an engine of regional economic growth. Ideal MFA policy corrects market failures and is mostly amenity-augmenting. It has the capacity to enhance opportunities for farmers on urban fringe; stimulate growth in high-amenity rural regions accessible to cities that offer opportunities for high-value work; and generate growth in relatively remote high-amenity regions. The scope for market-failure-correcting MFA policy to propel economic growth in lessfavored regions is limited – remoteness is non-responsive to policy in the short to medium term, and amenities that attract in-migration (e.g. proximity to sea, lakes, mountains, pleasant climate) are givens for favored locations but can at best be complemented by pro-active policy – but not trivial. While this paper focuses on regional economic growth, it well to rememberthat growth is not everything. Regions unlikely to experience growth need to create satisfying futures. Market-failure-correcting MFA policy has the potential to improve quality of life, well-being, and perhaps incomes in many if not all rural places regardless of location. This accomplishment would not be trivial – economic growth for all regions regardless of resources, amenities, and remoteness is not a serious prospect, and regions in decline face daunting problems maintaining essential services and quality of life.

Complex Relationships

As important current and increasing future sources of innovative economic initiatives, universities are unavoidably confronted by the challenging issues of sustainability and quality of life. The harmonization of social and economic goals will impact very significantly on their innovative activities in relation to both processes and outcomes. Approaches and objectives will be selected which combine potential economic significance with due concern for the physical environment and social well-being. The special characteristics of universities suggest that they are uniquely well suited to clarify the conceptual basis underlying the complex relationships between economic growth, sustainability and quality of life. This pressing task must be carried out so that governments, business and other social institutions are able to reflect the results in their policies and operational interrelationships.

Entrepreneurship is considered relevant in the economic growth of nations because of its impact in the creation of new jobs and innovations in the social and economic fields. Thus, governments and academia worldwide have shown interest on how to leverage on entrepreneurship in order to develop strategies that improve the quality of life of individuals. Entrepreneurship as a development strategy is extensive; it goes from the creation of new enterprises born as a result of a high market potential to those that arise as the only income-generating alternative. This chapter addresses the study of the entrepreneurial process in organizations created by associations of vulnerable individuals engendered by the income generation need, and using as reference the case of AGROSEC, located in Colombia. Data were collected from primary and secondary sources. Five interviews were completed using pre-established protocols that were applied to 3 members of the association.

Abstract The present article focuses on the importance of natural products on the human body. Based on various researches, our aim is to highlight the consequences that a proper and balanced diet impacts on the quality of life. Based on Schopenhauer’s saying that 10% of our happiness is based on health, our intention is to identify the products that impact human chemistry. Studies prove that the way we eat can have an influence of between 30% to 50% with regard to the onset of various types of cancer. What we eat can influence the illnesses our bodies would create within 10, 20, 30 years. More recent studies show that our mind is responsible for our psychological and physical well being. Also, we focus on how rural agricultural development could lead to economic growth for the country.

EVOLUTION OF WELLBEING THEORIES IN THE POSTULATES OF ECONOMIC SCHOOLS AND CONCEPTS

Endogenous Development

The article presents the evolution of wellbeing theories in the postulates of economic schools and concepts. It has been established that the first period of development of economic wellbeing theories was marked by polarized tendencies of market or state domination, which led to the consideration of social wellbeing by economists-theorists in the macroeconomic aspect. It has also been found out that forming the foundation of future scientific research their representatives laid the foundations for methodological understanding and development of many economic theories. The second direction of development of wellbeing theories is based on the imperatives of economic growth (location theories, neoclassical theories, theories of cumulative growth, institutional theories and new theories of regional development). It has been found that the rethinking of approaches to local and regional development at the present stage is associated with the actualization of the theory of endogenous development and the concept of local economic development (place-based theory). It has been found out that along with theories of well-being based on the economic concept, theories that determine the social status of people from the standpoint of their high standard of living and human development are widespread in international research. The third direction of wellbeing theories, related to the search for measures of human development that go beyond GDP, is now formed from an alternative flow of scientific thought in the established scientific direction. The end of the last century was marked by a significant interest in social indicators, outlined in various doctrinal forms: social progress, human development, quality of life, wellbeing in a new sense, as well as increasing attention to the individual and their original organizational groups (family, households, communities), and the definition of their weight in the relationship «state-market». Common expression of these concepts is a person whose view transformed from a purely materialist understanding of their wellbeing to a broader point of view – a person who professes values and is in collective interaction. The present study of the evolution of wellbeing theory indicates the need for the formation and implementation of public policy in the direction of intensifying local development and provision of high quality public services based on the principle of subsidiarity.

Accurate Analysis

Today, the promotion of economic progress in the global economy plays an important role. The unification of the world market leads to the need to improve the competitiveness of each country. Economic growth should be directed at the individual, as it affects the well-being and development of people. Quality of life is manifested in various activities and includes demographic, ethnographic, political and environmental aspects of human existence on the General ideological and cultural background. Scientific standards of needs and interests of people serve as an objective assessment of the quality of life of people, according to which it is possible to objectively judge the degree of satisfaction of these needs and interests. At the same time, any statistical values are not able to assess the needs and interests of people, as they are individual and exist only in the minds of people. We highlight the category of education for analysis. The importance of learning is evident in developed countries, as it plays a major role in personal and social development. This paper reveals the relationship between the level of secondary vocational and higher education with indicators of activity in the labor market. Gender indicators have been collected for a more accurate analysis of the level of education as a decisive factor in economic growth. Life expectancy has a significant impact on gender indicators of the population. The analysis on the number of economically inactive population by age groups in the Russian Federation is given. The problems caused by the employment of graduates who have completed secondary vocational or higher education are possible only through the interaction of the labor market with the market of educational services.
