Quality of Life, life satisfaction and happiness in Croatia in comparison to European countries
The aim of this paper is to analyse various dimensions of subjective well-being in Croatia: life satisfaction, happiness, personal and national well-being, to compare some of these dimensions between 2003 and 2005, and to compare our data with available data from other European countries. The data used were obtained from two national surveys (2003 and 2005). In both surveys participants were representative samples of Croatian citizens. Comparisons with other European countries was based on the data set from the project on monitoring quality of life in Europe conducted in 2003 by European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions. Results of analyses showed that Croatia’ s subjective well-being rates fit at the bottom of EU-15 or at the top of 13 acceding and candidate countries, by their status in 2003. Happiness ratings in Croatian citizens were rather high and increased between 2003 and 2005. Satisfaction with personal life domains showed that the least satisfying is standard of living, while the most satisfying were relationships with family and friends. When rating national domains, Croatian citizens were the most satisfied with national security and state of the environment and the least satisfied with social conditions in the country.
