Abstract

En este trabajo se analizan los problemas relacionados con un enfoque más amplio basado en la calidad de vida, en vez de un enfoque basado únicamente en el ingreso, para la evaluación o distribución de la beneficencia pública. Se muestra la manera en que un enfoque de calidad de vida puede ayudar a evaluar los efectos sobre la beneficencia de factores que van desde la salud, la educación y el desempleo hasta disposiciones institucionales tales como la desigualdad y la oportunidad. No obstante, inferir implicaciones de políticas directamente resulta problemático, porque las normas y expectativas inciden en la manera en que los individuos responden a las encuestas y la definición de felicidad o satisfacción no está del todo clara. Esto último permite establecer comparaciones en cuanto a investigación entre individuos y culturas, pero tiene sus inconvenientes en tanto que base para el diseño de políticas.
