“…Welfare system: finally, this paper included in the regression the type of welfare system a country offers (Esping-Andersen, 1990;Soede et al, 2004) in order to allow for macroeconomic heterogeneity in determining well-being and job productiviy (Asatiani and Verulava, 2017;Kaasa, 2016). Hence, five macro-categories of welfare states exist in Europe: Nordic (grouping Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands); Continental (Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland); Anglo-Saxon (UK and Ireland); Mediterranean (Spain, Portugal, Cyprus and Greece); Eastern (Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Ukraine and Croatia).…”

This paper addresses some recent developments in the field of management science and economics of well-being, trying to prove a link between working conditions and subjective well-being. Using the fifth round of the European Social Survey, which is the most recent set of data with a module focusing on the interrelations between work, family and well-being, this paper uses an instrumental variable approach to estimate the effect of job satisfaction on subjective Well-being. The direction of the relationship between these two variables has always been controversial because of endogeneity. Results, also exploring the role of working contract and welfare systems, allow for isolating a considerable influence on job satisfaction in increasing people's subjective well-being. Results are robust even if the restriction condition is violated. Job satisfaction increases subjective well-being even if the instrumental variables are not uncorrelated with the error of the main equation.

Introduction:Investments in healthcare are important in terms of formation of the health capital. The research aims to find out the role of the health capital in economic growth of a country.Methods:This study is based on the secondary sources of data. The study data were obtained from Human Development Report, Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Protection of Georgia. As a proxy indicator for measuring the health capital we used the life expectancy at birth, the general and initial illness rate, the general, maternal and children’s mortality rate, outpatient referral rate, the state expenses on healthcare, the share of state expenditure in total expenditure on health and state expenditure on health as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product.Results:The average life expectancy has increased in recent 25 years. The maternal and children’s mortality rate have decreased, healthcare expenses have become higher and outpatient referral rate has also become more constant character. All these have a positive influence on the people’s health and country’s economic growth. However, the state expenses on healthcare and outpatient referral rate are far below the European level.Conclusion:As the health capital fulfills significant role in terms of the country’s economic growth in a long-run perspective, it is advisable to promote the development of the primary healthcare system and taking WHO recommendations concerning state healthcare expenses into account.

The role implies supporting patient's psycho-social conditions. The objective of the study was to study the psycho-social challenges of oncological children and their families and to define a role of social work in this area. Material and methods. As part of a qualitative study, five interviews were conducted with pediatric oncologists, also 15 in-depth interviews with family members of oncological patients and a focus group with 8 members. For the quantitative study, 62 beneficiaries and 12 medical specialists were interviewed. Results. The children with oncology conditions and their families faced psycho-social challenges and were in need of social workers' support in overcoming those challenges.

Both psychologists and social workers are involved in re-socialization of oncological children and they care for the improvement of children's quality of life and support their families.
