Abstrakt		In the book we deal with the economic evaluation of human life, where we stress the evaluation of human life from the individual's point of view. In the previous socio-economic system, due to the priority given to a collective before an individual, he/she couldn't find the means to express himself/herself. Particularly we undertake the consideration of the willingness-to-pay approach, which is used for the economic evaluation of human life from the individual's point of view. Theoretically, our startingpoint is the welfare economy, where priority is given to an individual and his/her needs. Our purpose was to introduce the economic evaluation to professionals, as well as to a wider society, so we defined it within a historical review, theoretical considerations, different views of the economic evaluation of human life from the societal point of view and particularly from the individual's point of view. The most frequent direct and indirect approaches are presented along with the critical evaluation. Using the willingness-to-pay approach, a human life was economically evaluated in the case of traffic accidents. This is the first kind of study in Slovenia using the willingness-to-pay approach. However, in the meantime a model for the economic evaluation of human life was developed which might be used in other similar researches. If we compare the economic value of human life in Slovenia from the individual's point of view, using the willingness-to-pay approach, with the economic value of human life in selected countries with the established market economy, we can see, that the economic value of human life is relatively high in our country.
