The article considers the possibility of using international indices to assess well-being, based on the identification of economic, environmental and social components, from the perspective of sustainable human development. Sixteen international indices serving as alternative measures of assessment of the level of well-being are analyzed. The comparative analysis of indices carried out by the authors is based on such key requirements as a strict relationship with well-being, the choice of significant indicators, the reliability and availability of data, the possibility of cross-country comparison. All indices are grouped into three blocks: core/target indicators used to measure well-being; subjective indicators of well-being; indicators of sustainable human development. The article substantiates the need to measure well-being, taking into account not only the prospects of the basic needs of society, but also the prospects of opportunities, taking into account the data of different information space, without missing the beauty of the search for human-environmental relations within each dimension.
