Welfare Criterion
(redirected from Welfare Criteria)

     0.01 sec.
Welfare Criterion
The basis by which one measures the benefits of a change against its drawbacks. For example, one may elect to make a change if everyone gains and no one loses, or if the number or the quality of the gains outpaces the number or quality of the losses. There is no single welfare criterion; the criterion used varies according to the ethics or preferences of the one(s) considering the change.
