The latter is possible for the reason that fundamentally any local system is a split whole consisting of not one element but a significant number of differing elements connected with each other the integrity of which conditions the appearance of new integrated features which are not peculiar to severally taken elements comprising the system. The goal of the research is the analysis of scientific approaches towards the essence of social and economic category of "living standards of the population" and some methodological aspects of its investigation by both native and foreign scientists. Realization of the goal conditioned the necessity of solving of the tasks as follows: expound the essence of the "living standards" category and show its interrelation with other synonymic categories; underpin scientific tendencies of welfare theory and living standards of the population development basing on fundamental analysis of the research papers related with the issue of living standards of both native and foreign scientists starting from the times of classic political economy and till present.
