European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS)

The European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) is a comprehensive, pan-European survey conducted every four years to assess both the objective and subjective aspects of life for European citizens. It covers a wide array of topics, including employment, income, education, housing, family, health, and work-life balance. Additionally, it explores subjective dimensions such as happiness, life satisfaction, and perceptions of societal quality. The EQLS provides valuable insights into the living conditions and well-being of Europeans, allowing for the tracking of trends and changes over time. This survey is significant for policymakers and researchers as it helps identify areas needing improvement and informs the development of policies aimed at enhancing the quality of life across Europe.
