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).

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: ASRL, table 31.02.14). This indicator favors the conversion of
