“…According to the regression results, the confidence degrees of households' members for the future (positive expectations) can significantly increase resident happiness. Such results are in line with other studies on well-being, which stress positive links between job satisfaction and overall well-being [68], subjective assessments of stability within the concept of holistic well-being [69], and the impact of the social system on the perception of well-being [70].…”

The main aim of sustainable development is to increase the quality of life and resident happiness as the latter is one of the most important indicators for the assessment of quality of life. However, due to the uncertainty of economic policies, it will not only have a direct impact on resident well-being but may also indirectly affect resident well-being through specific channels. The economic policies are aimed at the achievement of sustainable development, therefore it is very important to investigate the influences of the uncertainty of economic policies on resident happiness. This allows to assess the sustainability of policies in terms of their inputs to the quality of life. The direct impact of economic policy uncertainty on resident well-being and the mediating effects of household asset allocation and the expectation on the above influencing relationship were analyzed based on the uncertainty index of China’s economic policies and households database of China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) during the period 2010–2018, so as to clarify the complete path of economic policy uncertainty affecting resident happiness. Results show that the uncertainty of economic policy significantly reduces resident happiness. In the context of the uncertainty of economic policies, families can relieve such negative impacts as an increasing proportion of financial assets in their total assets. However, decreases in asset shares for household consumer goods and future expectation obviously lower resident happiness. The research conclusions provide important input in research on the influences of the uncertainty of economic policy on the quality of life and offer new evidences for the development of “happiness economics”.

“…As for Ukraine, the emigration in which is the subject of the study in this article, we revealed the corresponding reasons as well as their interrelation with socioeconomic basis of migration decisions in our preceding papers (Bilan, 2017;Mishchuk & Grishnova, 2015;Mishchuk et al 2018) and some other researches (Cohen, 2017;D'Silva & Samah, 2018;Holovatyi, 2014;Máté et al, 2018). At the same time, Ukrainian scientists, like their European counterparts who are studying the problem of brain gain in favour of more developed countries, for instance (Grenčíková et al 2017), are trying to find a common solution for all source countries in order to transform the process of intellectual migratory losses into the brain circulation and justify the policy measures that can enforce the benefits of circulation of knowledge and skills (Bilan & Bilan, 2011;Puraite et al, 2017;Sadova, 2010;Semiv & Hvozdovych, 2012;Stakanov, 2018).…”

“…As for possible differences in the approaches of different researchers, e.g. (Afanasiev & Kudrov, 2019;D'Silva & Samah, 2018;Prakash & Garg, 2019), they are understandable due to the dynamism and differences of the basic concept underlying the assessment (well-being). The admissibility of such differences can most clearly be illustrated by one of the theses identified in the Canadian Index of Child and Youth Well-being report: 'Different individuals, cultures, communities and age groups have different concepts and experiences of well-being.…”

Based on existing approaches to assessing the quality of life and similar concepts in human capital management, a quality of life index for young people is proposed. It takes into account the factors of four groups that determine the subjective satisfaction with the quality of life: Economic environment; Socio-political environment; Social environment; Natural environment. Partial factors and their corresponding quality of life indicators are adapted to the assessments of young people, whose needs and interests differ significantly from other age groups due to differences in the values of generations and features of economic activity at a young age. The methodology developed by the authors is based on taking into account subjective assessments of the level of satisfaction with quality of life factors, as well as their importance based on the determination of weights. As a result of testing the methodology, it was found that the most important factors for a positive perception of quality of life are the social environment, in particular, family relationships and health. Economic and environmental factors have approximately the same effect. Socio-political environment factors have the least influence. Due to material well-being and the quality of socio-political life, satisfaction with the life of employed youth is slightly higher (by 3%). Instead, respondents who do not work are more satisfied with social comfort. The integrated index of quality of life of the interviewed youth is 3,438 points out of 5 maximum. The methodology and results of the assessment are useful for the development of national and regional programs and strategies of human capital development due to increase the level of satisfaction of material, spiritual and cultural needs of young people.
