Application of the Well-Being Standard in the Context of the Sustainable Development Goals, New National Projects and the System of National Accounts 2025

The Russian Federation has started implementing the standards of the system of national accounts by 2025. The coverage of statistics will increase significantly, and for the first time, the SNA will reflect indicators directly related to household well-being. In modern conditions of globalization and rapid socio-economic transformations, the issue of forming a single standard of well-being of the population is of particular relevance. The relevance of the study is due to several factors: the difficulty of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established at the international level; the recent adoption of new national projects in the Russian Federation; the continuing differentiation of the level of development between the regions of the country. The article is devoted to the development and implementation of the standard of well-being as a universal tool for influencing the socio-economic development of the state. In the context of persistent inequality and the need to improve the effectiveness of state social policy, the creation of such a standard becomes critically important for harmonizing regional development and achieving the strategic goals of the state. The paper examines the theoretical foundations of the concept of well-being, as well as the practical significance of the introduction of such a standard in the context of modern challenges. It also provides examples of successful practices and approaches used by States to improve the quality of life of citizens, and ways to assess the success of such practices.
