This essay introduces a new type of measure of social welfare, where populations are evaluated by their resemblance to an optimum population, which is an (in principle) possible population with the highest degree of social welfare, relative to some circumstances. Here, it is argued to be the largest possible population where everyone fares maximally well. The new measure is responsive to quality of welfare, equality of welfare and the number of people. It satisfies dominance and negative monotonicity, and it avoids both the repugnant conclusion and a reverse repugnant conclusion for comparisons relative to our future on earth.

通过接近最佳人口来衡量社会福利

本文介绍了一种新型的社会福利衡量标准,其中根据人口与最佳人口的相似性来评估人口,最佳人口是相对于某些情况(原则上)具有最高社会福利的可能人口。在这里,它被认为是每个人都过得最好的最大可能人口。新措施对福利质量、福利平等和人口数量作出反应。它满足dominancenegative monotonicity,并且它避免了与我们在地球上的未来进行比较的令人厌恶的结论和反向令人厌恶的结论。
