European Quality of Life Survey

The European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) is a monitoring tool to capture quality of life in multiple dimensions. It examines both the objective circumstances of European citizens' lives and how they feel about those circumstances, and their lives in general.

There have been four rounds of the EQLS: 2003, 2007, 2012 and 2016. For more information on the EQLS series, including survey scope, methodology and experts involved, see the EQLS survey page. 

The data explorer below contains data from all four rounds. To display this data, use the filters below to first select a category, then a question.

Refine the results by selecting a country (or group of countries), apply additional filters (which vary throughout the surveys) or change the visualisation by selecting a preferred chart type. Available rounds can be selected below the visualisation.
