Abstract

The paper deals with technological determinants of the lifetime social well-being, as conditions of maintaining the level and style of consumption, social status throughout the whole life. Despite the high importance of the problem of the social well-being and the relevance of its solution for the development of modern society, the issues of its correlation with the technological level of production and the development of information technologies are still poorly researched. As the problem of the life-time wellbeing take on special significance, it is important to analyze its conditions, related not only to social benefits, but also to the scientific and technological progress. For the future innovation and the digital stage of social well-being is its network well-being. It is based on the usage of the Internet for professional activity and personal self-fulfillment during the whole conscious life. Network well-being also reflects the convergence of information and network, industrial, financial, marketing, and social technologies. The formation of the life-time network well-being requires from the Government some measures of social adjustment, fiscal policy and the regulation of employment to encourage Internet Education and Internet employment, enhancing the prestige of working in high-tech industries.

Highlights

The social well-being, its objective content, subjective perception, factors and evaluation criteria are the subject of debate among contemporary economists
We identified two main approaches to the analysis of the social well-being: an objective (Bartel, Lichtenberg (1991) [1], Rahn, Brehm (1997) [2], Gurley, Harter (2008) [3]), and object-subject approach (Diener (2005) [4], Berkman, Glass, Brissette, Seeman (2008) [5], Melchior, Niedhammer, Berkman, Goldberg M. (2003) [6], Kahneman, Riis (2005) [7], Barysheva (2015) [8])
The well-being here is associated with the volume of material, non-material and social benefits, which an individual or household can "take" from the society according to her/his education, profession, age, and so on, and which the society can give her/him

Summary

Introduction

The social well-being, its objective content, subjective perception, factors and evaluation criteria are the subject of debate among contemporary economists. An objective approach considers the well-being from "outside" - by the society, its current standards to ensure a minimum living standard. The well-being here is associated with the volume of material, non-material and social benefits, which an individual or household can "take" from the society according to her/his education, profession, age, and so on, and which the society can give her/him. An object-subject approach considers both an external (social) and internal (personal) basis of the social well-being and is based on integration of four concepts: internal agreement of the individual with herself/himself; understanding of personal benefit, access to its source and the intention to get it; realization of personal potential in work and creativity; availability of opportunities to get exactly those goods that are necessary for personal development.
