Resumo
[Abstract] The aim of this paper is to develop subjective synthetic indicators that quantify the quality of life in the different countries of the EU-28, with data from the 2016 European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS). We add other indicators to the general synthetic ones in order to quantify the different dimensions of quality life due to its multidimensional nature. The successive but unchained application of the principal component analysis and the Mazziota-Pareto analysis allows us to classify 5 dimensions of quality of life: subjective component of governance, public services, environment, general satisfaction with life, and socioeconomic issues. We verify that countries with the lowest or highest
positions in the general index usually keep that position in most dimensions. The spatial
perspective is fundamental to study of regional development. For this reason, the next
objective is the analysis of differences by spatial location using the variance analysis.
The general indicator shows significant differences between EU countries but it does not show differences in the quality of life of European citizens in urban and rural areas.
