The new ESS initiative “Measuring and Reporting on Europeans’ Wellbeing: Findings from the European Social Survey” showcases the scope that ESS data provide for exploring the definition, distribution and drivers of subjective wellbeing across Europe.
The Core Scientific Team of the ESS has collaborated with leading experts on wellbeing in Europe, as well as prominent researchers in fields such as sociology, political science, psychology, demography and geography, to identify some highlights from the rich research into wellbeing being carried out using ESS data. The result of this collaboration is an interactive website that presents some of the key findings based on the data analysis of the first six ESS rounds.
A summary of the findings is also available here.
