Resumen

Este trabajo aborda la valoración del bienestar social y su relación con la utilidad individual, con el propósito de que resulte accesible a los no especialistas. Nos centramos en la valoración del bienestar social desde el punto de vista del procedimiento, más que del concepto. Los elementos relevantes serán pues las alternativas sociales y las valoraciones de los individuos. Describimos las dificultades que aparecen a la hora de construir una función de bienestar social a partir de las valoraciones individuales y también consideramos las posibilidades que se abren cuando definimos una función de evaluación social directamente sobre las alternativas sociales, sin pasar por las valoraciones individuales. El trabajo incluye cuatro aplicaciones a diferentes campos: desigualdad, mercado de trabajo, desarrollo humano y pobreza.
