Social welfare

Japanese: 社会的厚生 - しゃかいてきこうせい(英語表記)social welfare
Social welfare
The welfare (a numerical measure of subjective satisfaction) that people enjoy from a certain social state will generally vary depending on the individual making the evaluation, and it is not self-evident how to grasp the welfare of even one individual. Furthermore, the welfare of an entire society consisting of many individuals, that is, social welfare, will likely be defined in a variety of ways that reflect people's views of society. Regardless of the definition, social welfare may be influenced by various economic and non-economic factors, but AC Pigou called the part of it that is directly or indirectly related to the measurement scale of money economic welfare.

Japanese:
ある社会状態から人々が享受する厚生(主観的満足の数値的尺度)は,評価する個人により一般に異なるであろうし,そもそも一人の個人についてさえ,その厚生をいかに把握すべきかは自明ではない。まして多数の個人から成る社会全体の厚生すなわち社会的厚生は,人の社会観を反映して多様に定義されるであろう。いかなる定義によろうとも,社会的厚生は種々の経済的・非経済的な要因に影響を受けようが,とくに直接または間接に貨幣という測定尺度に関連づけられる部分を,A.C.ピグーは経済的厚生と呼んだ。
