Chile, malestar social, bienestar subjetivo, bienestar, milagro económico, progreso socialResumen
Chile ha vivido un milagro económico en las décadas recientes. Se redujo la desigualdad de ingreso, creció el ingreso per cápita y disminuyó sustancialmente la pobreza. En el año 2019 se evidenció un malestar de importantes segmentos de la población que el gobierno, los organismos internacionales y los expertos no anticiparon y no lograron explicar con base en sus modelos de progreso social. Esta investigación argumenta que los indicadores de desarrollo económico de uso frecuente son insuficientes para captar la situación de bienestar en la población y para apreciar el progreso de las sociedades. Se utilizan datos de bienestar subjetivo para mostrar que Chile es un caso de crecimiento económico sin mejora de bienestar.
