This article is part of the Eurostat online publication Quality of life indicators, providing recent statistics on the quality of life in the European Union (EU). The publication presents a detailed analysis of many different dimensions of quality of life, complementing the indicator traditionally used as the measure of economic and social development, gross domestic product (GDP).
The present article is a general introduction to the set of '8+1' statistical articles (see here), sketching the conceptual, policy and methodological backgrounds: what is quality of life and how can its different aspects be measured adequately?
