Abstract

The paper presents selected ideas for describing and measuring the quality of life. Some indicators of life quality in Poland and other EU ountries are presented. The analyses are based on data derived from databases of particular countries or international organizations: GUS, Eurostat, OECD. The data shown in tables and figures present structure and dynamics of selected indicators. It could be concluded that the life quality of the Polish population is improving when compared to the residents of other EU countries. The percentage share of food expenses in the Poles' budget has been reduced but it is still about 20%. Life expectancy of men and women has increased in Poland and other EU countries. Poland is among countries with the highest level of job loss fear. Polish citizens express low level of life satisfaction. On the basis of the analysis it could be concluded that Poland remains a country where the values of the indicators of quality of life are unfavourable, when compared with other EU countries.
