Overall approach to identifying a set of quality of life indicators Jean-Louis Mercy Eurostat

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 Qo. L well-being • Develop synthetic, primary and complementary indicators + headlines • Scoreboard - no composite Eurostat

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 Qo. L – 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 Eurostat
