Abstract
The aim of the article is to present indicators of the social pillar of sustainable development used in databases that come from large nationwide social science surveys conducted consistently over decades. For this purpose, the following research projects were selected: the American General Social Survey (GSS), the British Social Attitudes (BSA), the German General Social Survey (ALLBUS), and the Polish General Social Survey (PGSS). A Human Wellbeing Index (HWI)developed by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) was adopted as a conceptual basis, in its version put forward by Robert Prescott-Allen. The article includes a compilation of indicators which describe selected aspects of the social pillar of sustainable development and which are used in all of the research projects mentioned.
