<strong>Special</strong> EUROBAROMETER 273 “European Social Reality” Report 1.2 Life satisfaction The survey includes 14 items that capture how satisfied people are with their life, of which happiness is one 3 . Country fluctuations in the level of reported happiness thus relate to these other aspects such as people’s perceived standard of living, their quality of life, facilities in their local area, feeling safe and confidence in one’s job and one’s pension. On average, over 9 out of 10 Europeans rate their house or flat as satisfactory (92%) and the wide majority of countries is generally satisfied. When it comes to pensions and job opportunities in the local area, satisfaction levels are far lower.

<strong>Special</strong> EUROBAROMETER 273 “European Social Reality” Report Levels of satisfaction with the quality of life and the standard of living are not the same throughout the European Union. In the Northern European countries the highest levels are found in the Benelux, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is least widespread in Bulgaria, where less than half of the citizens express satisfaction with these two important components of their life satisfaction 4 .
