  2. The recommendations from the sponsorship • Quality of life is multidimensional • Aim at data at individual level • Links between dimensions • Multiple (dis-)advantaged groups and specific subpopulations, incl. regional data • Complement objective measures with perceived QoL  well-being • Develop synthetic, primary and complementary indicators + headlines • Scoreboard - no composite

  3. Statistical answers: the expert group • Build on strengths (microdata, evolution) • Use the system of social statistics • EU-SILC: key role • Income and living conditions closely linked to QoL – Multidimensionality of poverty and exclusion • Longitudinal component • Ad hoc module 2013 and regular question(s) • Benefit from the re-design and modularisation • Use other ESS data sources: LFS, EHIS, AES, TUS, HBS • Use advanced techniques for timeliness and simultaneous use of different data sources • Better analyse and disseminate: web site, annual report and 5 yearly comprehensive analysis

  4. Economic and physical safety • Economic (wealth, debt, income insecurity) Physical (crime, insecurity) • Governance and basic rights • Institutions and public services • Equal opportunities • Active citizenship • Natural and living conditions • Pollution • Green and recreational spaces • Landscape and built environment • Overall experience of life • Life satisfaction • Affects • Eudaemonics (meaning) • Material living conditions Income Consumption Material conditions (deprivation, housing) • Productive or main activity Employment, unempl, underempl. Quality of employment • Health Outcomes (mortality, morbidity) Drivers: (un-)healthy behaviours Access • Education Outcomes: competences and skills Life long learning Access to education • Leisure and social interactions Quantity, quality and access to leisure Social interactions (activities with, for, supportive relationship, social cohesion)
