Unit:
Mean score (comparable)
Description:

Calculations are based on microdata from the European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS), coordinated by Eurofound. The survey aims to represent the population of all residents in a survey country aged 18 or older.

The question considered is question Q32 from the 2016 EQLS survey in the EQLS Integrated Data File, 2003-2016: How satisfied are you with the present state of the economy in your country? Scale: 1 Very dissatisfied; to 10 Very satisfied.

This question was asked as a separate question in 2016 (Q32), and no time series data have been made available suggesting it is not comparable with the previous question from 2011 (Q40h) asking respondents to rate their satisfaction with the economic situation in your country on a scale from 1 to 10 .

The indicator is calculated as the mean score on the scale out of all responses given by persons who answered the question (excluding those answering 'don't know' or refusing to answer).

The selection of relevant questions from the EQLS surveys to be included in the database was based on the following criteria:

  • Additionality: EQLS questions were included where they provided additional information compared to other data (such as Eurostat data) included in the database;
  • Policy & research relevance: EQLS questions were included where they were judged to be highly policy relevant and/or showed substantial gender variation in data;
  • Recent data: EQLS questions were included only if they were last asked less than ten years ago; and
  • Sufficient sample size: EQLS questions were included only if there was a sufficient number of respondents to allow for response breakdown by EU Member States and gender.
