Eurofound publishes its Second European Quality of Life Survey (2EQLS)
Health, family and quality of society - the cornerstones of quality of life in Europe
(DUBLIN, IRELAND) Most Europeans report health and family life as the key elements contributing to a good quality of life, according to the Second European Quality of Life Survey (2EQLS), carried out by Eurofound, the Dublin-based EU Agency. The survey, to be launched under the Czech EU Presidency in Prague on 25 March, also reveals that Europeans are generally satisfied with their quality of life despite big variations between both levels of life satisfaction and happiness, especially among the 12 new EU Member States. Europeans rate their life satisfaction at an average score of 7, and happiness at 7.5, on a scale from one to ten.
