The primary social determinants of a prosperous life in society are examined in this article. Specifically, the social protection system, citizen security, access to healthcare and education, social justice, and cultural participation are emphasized as important components. Each criterion is analyzed in light of its intimate relationship to government policy, infrastructure condition, legal protections for citizens, and social stability. The purpose of the article is to clarify the metrics that are used to evaluate the social opportunities and standard of living of citizens. Key words: prosperous life, society, social criterion, culture, social justice, gender equality, security. One category of indicators that reflect the level of a prosperous life in society has a social character. Social indicators help determine the social opportunities created for members of society to lead a prosperous life and improve their social status. In scientific sources, social indicators are classified and presented in various ways [1]. Based on these sources, the following can be recognized as the main ones: 1. The assurance of social justice. The level of a prosperous life in society is primarily and closely connected with the extent to which social justice is ensured. “Social justice, emphasized President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, “means ensuring the equality of all citizens before the law, regardless of their political views, gender, nationality, language, or religious beliefs. It is the equality of opportunities in education, healthcare, and other areas. It is the guaranteed freedom of labor activity and equal opportunities for career advancement. Most importantly, it is the care for the elderly and citizens in need of social protection” [2]. If all citizens in a society have equal opportunities, social resources are distributed fairly, and fundamental rights such as access to employment, education, and healthcare services are guaranteed, only in such an environment can a truly prosperous life be established. The presence of social justice leads society toward prosperity and stability by reducing disparities between different social groups, ensuring gender equality, preventing social conflicts, eliminating poverty, and strengthening the system of social protection; 2. Ensuring citizens’ security. Citizens’ security is one of the key factors for the stable development and prosperous life of any society. In society, 31 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference ensuring security is not limited to low crime rates or resistance to external threats. It encompasses several important areas such as human rights, economic opportunities, information security, political stability, and environmental protection. Ensuring citizens’ security in society is primarily manifested through legal guarantees and the prioritization of state policy. In addition, internal affairs bodies, the National Guard, and security services play an important role in ensuring public safety [3]. A safe social environment creates the necessary conditions for a prosperous life. On the other hand, such a situation ensures the psychological peace of citizens. In such an environment, people begin to focus on leading a calm and peaceful life, building families, realizing their full potential, and engaging in productive work; 3. Access to education. The opportunities created for citizens to receive education in a society are determined by a number of factors. First and foremost, the Constitution of the country and education-related laws must guarantee every citizen’s right to receive an education. State-provided grants, education loans, and scholarships also create opportunities for broad segments of the population to access education. Access to education is closely linked, in particular, to the state of educational infrastructure and its technological base. In addition, society’s attitude toward education and science also holds great significance. The presence of such opportunities serves as a basis for determining the level of prosperity in people’s lives. This is because these opportunities enable citizens to acquire competitive professions, obtain high- paying jobs, improve their social status, and fully exercise their rights and freedoms; 4. Access to healthcare services. A healthy society is one of the key factors in achieving a prosperous life. The opportunities created for citizens to protect and maintain their health are among the key indicators of the effectiveness of the state’s social policy. These opportunities are reflected in several areas. First and foremost, access to healthcare is reflected in legal guarantees. Such guarantees serve as a legal foundation for developing the healthcare system infrastructure and ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens. The second key indicator of access to healthcare services is related to the availability and location of medical institutions, the level of their equipment with modern
