Abstract

Recientemente ha tomado fuerza la idea de adoptar medidas de bienestar subjetivo para propósitos de política pública. En este estudio se muestran los resultados de dos mediciones diferentes en el Área Metropolitana de Barranquilla (Colombia). Se estudia la asociación del bienestar subjetivo con las características personales, del hogar y del entorno. Se discute el concepto de bienestar, su relación con el concepto de felicidad, y a partir de los elementos normativos que los caracterizan se discute la pertinencia de estas medidas para el diseno de políticas públicas de los gobiernos locales. Se hace énfasis en la importancia de hacer explícito el criterio de bienestar usado y sus características normativas.
