Life satisfaction (i19)

Definition: the evaluation of one's own life is based on the answers of the respondents (aged 15 or older) to the European Social Survey question: “Please imagine a ladder with steps numbered from zero at the bottom to ten at the top. Suppose we say that the top of the ladder represents the best possible life for you and the bottom of the ladder represents the worst possible life for you. If the top step is 10 and the bottom step is 0, on which step of the ladder do you feel you personally stand at the present time? This indicator is expressed as an average score out of 10. This question was asked in each of the ten biennial ESS surveys. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the survey for 2020 was postponed to 2021. The FPB calculates the indicator using the ESS data. Since these data are based on surveys, a margin of uncertainty must be taken into account. The confidence intervals for these data are available on request.指标定义：以15岁及以上受访者对欧洲社会调查（European Social Survey, ESS）提出的如下问题的作答为依据，评估受访者的自身生活状况："请想象一架阶梯编号从底部0至顶部10的梯子。我们假定梯子顶端代表你所能拥有的最优生活，底端代表你所能拥有的最差生活。若顶端为10、底端为0，请问你当前的个人生活处于梯子的哪一阶？"该指标以满分10分的平均得分形式呈现。此问题在十轮每两年一届的欧洲社会调查中均有设置。受新冠疫情（Covid-19 pandemic）影响，2020年的调查被推迟至2021年开展。FPB采用欧洲社会调查数据测算该指标。由于此类数据基于抽样调查，需考量其不确定度边际；该指标数据的置信区间可应要求提供。
