welfare assessment frameworks

Welfare assessment frameworks are organized methods used to evaluate how different factors affect the well-being of individuals, communities, or ecosystems. They systematically measure aspects like health, safety, economic stability, and environmental impact to determine if conditions are improving or worsening. These frameworks help policymakers, organizations, and researchers make informed decisions by providing clear criteria and indicators to assess overall welfare, identify areas needing attention, and track progress over time. In essence, they serve as structured tools to ensure that actions and policies genuinely enhance quality of life and sustainability.
