Socio-economic security is identified and analyzed within the context of the social quality paradigm. Social-economic security as a component of social quality relates specifically to the extent to which people have resources (material and non-material) over time in the context of social relations. These social relations are sustained within a set of multifaceted sources of socio-economic security called collective identities, i.e.family, community and institutions.
The domains of socio-economic security -financial resources, housing and environment, health and care, work, and education -are presented. A list of indicators is presented for each domain together with a brief clarification.
