Abstract

The objective of this thesis was to understand and model social well-being, a way of measuring quality of life, in the counties of Florida. First, the concepts of social well-being were reviewed. Second, models of social well-being for 1960 and 1970 were proposed and developed through a factor analytic approach. Third, the patterns of social well-being were discussed and the change over the decade revealed. Fourth, these components of social well-being were evaluated as explanators of net migration rates through multiple linear regression. Finally, the results were reviewed, compared to similar approaches, and fitted into an overall picture of social well-being analyses.
