The article is devoted to the analysis of the system of social indicators for studying changes in the economic sphere of public life. Systems of social indicators are considered in the article as systematically and purposefully selected, clearly defined and structured sets of indicators. The existing world and European systems of social indicators are considered. The problems and difficulties of creating a system of social indicators that could assess the changes in society, outline and explain the current state of society, and predict possible consequences are outlined. It is proposed to consider the system of social indicators of economic change by combining objective indicators – as a certain fact, the reality in which changes are taking place; and subjective indicators that determine the attitude, assessment of a certain objective reality by the respondent. The necessity of combining objective and subjective indicators is considered on the example of indicators of household economic well-being. The article describes how a combination of objective and subjective indicators can help to solve the difficulties in studying household economic well-being. Accordingly, the combination of different types of indicators (objective and subjective) allows to study the economic well-being of a household from different angles and cover as many components as possible to explain the current situation and further track changes. Objective indicators of well-being represent the conditions and assets that allow people to meet their needs and feel subjectively satisfied with the level of their well-being and that of the household as a whole. Subjective indicators include a person's own assessment of various components of economic well-being (income, financial situation, poverty, financial stability, etc.). Therefore, it has been established that the combination of objective and subjective indicators is important for a more thorough explanation of social phenomena, processes and changes.
