Multidimensional well-being, deprivation and inequalityconceptual issues and measurement /[electronic resource] :by P. K. Pattanaik, Yongsheng Xu. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2024. - ix, 179 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Economic studies in inequality, social exclusion and well-being,2364-1088. - Economic studies in inequality, social exclusion and well-being..

Introduction -- Part 1 The basic analytical framework -- Conceptions of individual well being -- Valuation of functioning bundles and interpersonal comparisons of well being -- Freedom and individual well being -- Freedom A re examination of the concept -- Part 2 Some applications -- Measurement of individual and social well being -- Measurement of deprivation -- The column first approach to the measurement of social well being and deprivation -- Well being inequality -- Concluding remarks.

This volume explores several aspects of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum's framework for thinking about individual well-being. Called the functioning and capability approach (FCA), this framework radically departs from the conventional approach to the concept of individual well-being in welfare economics insofar as it identifies an individual's well-being as the value attached to the individual's achievements along certain dimensions of life and her freedom to choose a vector of such achievements rather than as the individual's happiness or desire fulfillment. The volume consists of two main parts. Part I outlines and studies the basic conceptual and analytical framework and its major features in detail. Part II of the book is devoted to application of the analytical structure of the FCA to practical problems of measuring well-being, deprivation, and inequality in a society. The book concludes with a discussion of the main conclusions of earlier chapters and the role of social scientists and philosophers in the FCA. This volume will be of interest to students, researchers, and practitioners studying multidimensional well-being, deprivation and inequality.
