Quality of Life in Croatia

Résumé du livre

Croatia's application for EU membership and its unique historical past - in particular the upheavals experienced over the past two decades - make it an interesting subject for the study of quality of life. This timely report sheds valuable insight into the social and economic conditions in present-day Croatia. Its findings are drawn from several national sources, but mainly from the Quality of Life Survey conducted by the United Nations Development Programme in Croatia in 2006. This survey used the questionnaire and methodology of the Foundation's 28-country First European Quality of Life Survey, which gives an internationally comparable perspective. The report explores key indicators of quality of life, such as household income, housing and local environment, employment and education, health and health services, family size and structure, work-life balance and perceptions of individual well-being.
