Annex II - Social Interactions

To portray a credible picture of well-being in a developed society we must include a
functioning related to social interactions. The commodity base of this functioning is constituted
by voluntary activities, by safeness (Security is the same commodity used in PPH), and by
cultural and recreational engagement (relying on the same commodity of ET: Cultural and
Recreational Expenses).

Volunteers

This indicator represents civil involvement: it consists in fact in the number of volunteer
association, year 1999 (source:

determinant of well-being, whose conversion factors are the following.

Friends (family III): people over 6 who meet friends at least once in a week, year
2000 (source:

Volunteers.

Health conditions (family I) : percentage of people in good health, year 1999 (source:
