Abstract

This overview is a comprehensive reconstruction of the social indicators movement from the middle of the 1960s up to the actual quality of life and wellbeing-research 50 years later. The time span regarded here corresponds roughly with the professional life of the two authors and the article is dedicated to Alex Michalos, to whom our research network thanks a lot.



Keywords: Social indicators movement, Quality of life- and wellbeing-research, Social reporting, Social monitoring, Governmental social reporting, European reporting, Eurobarometer, Quality of life-surveys
