Location: 201B (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)
RC55 Social Indicators (host committee)

Language: English

Research on social indicators and quality of life is one of the most fast-growing field in sociology. New ideas, untried methods, cutting-edge design, etc. are emerging to further our goal of understanding human conditions and betterment across the globe. This session wishes to encourage presentation of new types of social indicators and new ways of life quality research. There are, of course, downsides of social and economic changes in the modern world. We also want impartial reporting on unpleasant truths about human misfortunes, unhappiness and miseries. Often we need new conceptual or methodological tools to dig them out and have them exposed. Candid, truthful reportings are needed now as before. A regional or global perspective is most welcome.
