Chapter 3R, Problem 5CTQ

To determine

The question requires us to explain the inclusion of leisure time in the measurement of social well-being, and determine a measurable value that coincides with leisure.

Explanation of Solution

Suppose there is a group of people who utilize their leisure time by swimming in a privately owned firm. This firm charges a yearly membership amount for each candidate. The money received by a firm is used in buying goods and services, and on health benefits which in turn raises social well-being. If people are involved in leisure activities like playing games, watching television, reading books, writing blogs and informative articles, and playing guitar, then leisure time could be included in the measurement of social well-being. These activities are examples of measurable values that can coincide with leisure.
