welfare assessment

Welfare assessment is a way to evaluate how well an individual or group is doing physically, mentally, and socially. It considers factors like health, safety, comfort, and happiness to determine overall well-being. In animals, for example, it might involve checking for pain, stress, or good living conditions. In humans, it includes health status, emotional fulfillment, and social support. The goal is to understand whether basic needs are met and if the individual is thriving or experiencing hardships, guiding actions to improve their quality of life.
