?:abstract
  • In recent years, the idea that public policy should maximize satisfaction, happiness orsome other non-material measure of well-being has received a great deal of attention. In thispaper, I conduct an empirical study of the determinants of subjective life satisfaction (SLS) in theEuropean Union using data from the most recent, 2008/2009, wave of the European ValuesStudy. In particular, I examine the association between SLS and two kinds of individual-levelcharacteristics: demographic (age, gender, foreign-born and marital status) and socio-economic(education, monthly household income, employment and student status). I find that, of theeconomic variables, employed status and higher household income are associated with greaterSLS. These findings suggest that a traditional economic policy focused on reducingunemployment and on increasing real incomes can go a long way in improving citizensÂ’ lifesatisfaction. (xsd:string)
