The main methods were method of the systems approach; statistical analysis;search method; indicator method; graphic; abstract–logical.Results of the investigation. It has been established that determining the well–being of thepopulation under the influence of modern socio–economic and military events becomes relevantin the context of dynamic changes in the global environment, increasing poverty, income inequality,unemployment, etc. It has been determined that in addition to economic indicators, it is importantto take into account social, educational and environmental aspects.

The study of these factors allows us to conclude that the most influential are economic,social and personal. The study of the characteristics and relationships between them has shownthat their impact may differ for different population groups. It has been established that the well–being of the population can be considered through a multi–level structure. It was determined that themost common approach defines a three–level structure, namely: basic, middle and higher levels. Asignificant range of methodological approaches are used to analyze well–being. It was found that theirset is currently quite wide and includes statistical methods and various indicators. It should be notedthat subjective assessment also plays an important role in measuring the levels of well–being of thepopulation, especially when it comes to measuring medium and high levels. Analysis of the functionalpurpose of sovereign wealth funds allowed us to emphasize that they are an effective tool used toincrease social well–being through the use of state resources. This made it possible to proposestrategic imperatives for improving the well–being of the population, which should be determined bythe socio–economic policy of the state and be based on appropriate components.Scope of the results.
