    Los indicadores convencionales de desarrollo económico, como el PIB per cápita, sufren una severa obsolescencia y están siendo sustituidos por otras medidas del bienestar. En este artículo se propone un índice compuesto que mide el bienestar social en los municipios de la Comunidad Autónoma de Euskadi. La métrica utilizada permite tanto comparaciones transversales (entre municipios) como longitudinales (entre diferentes momentos de tiempo). Con los resultados obtenidos se ha clasificado a la población vasca en función del nivel de bienestar del municipio en que reside. Del trabajo también se concluye que el bienestar en Euskadi ha aumentado entre los ejercicios 2001 y 2020, a pesar de los efectos de la crisis, y que el bienestar de los municipios vascos tiende a converger en el mismo periodo.

    Conventional indicators for economic development, such as GDP per capita, are suffering from severe obsolescence and being replaced by other measures of well-being. This paper proposes a composite index that measures social well-being in the municipalities of the Basque Country. The methods used for scale transformation and normalization allows both cross-sectional (between municipalities) and longitudinal comparisons (between different moments of time). With the results obtained, Basque population has been classified according to the level of well-being in their municipality of residence. The research also provides evidence that well-being has increased in the Basque Country between 2001 and 2020, and tends to converge in the same period.

    Garapen ekonomikoaren adierazle konbentzionalak, hala nola biztanleko BPGa, zaharkituta daude eta ongizatearen beste neurri batzuekin ordezkatzen ari dira. Artikulu honetan Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoko udalerrietako gizarte-ongizatea neurtzen duen indize konposatu bat proposatzen da. Erabilitako metrikak zeharkako konparazioak (udalerrien artekoak) nahiz luzetarakoak (denbora-une desberdinen artekoak) egiteko aukera ematen du. Lortutako emaitzekin, euskal biztanleria bizi den udalerriaren ongizate-mailaren arabera sailkatu da. Lanetik ondorioztatzen da, halaber, Euskadiko ongizatea handitu egin dela 2001 eta 2020 urteen artean, krisiaren ondorioak gorabehera, eta EAEko udalerrien ongizatea aldi berean bateratzeko joera dagoela.
