It examines three main questions: do Europeans live in good societies and enjoy good lives; are European societies becoming better as time passes, or is their quality slowly deteriorating; is the quality of life of Europe?s citizens improving over time or is it gradually and irrecoverably getting worse. The volume uses a precise and rigorous system of information to answer these questions and to assess the current situation and monitor the quality of European societies. It describes and discusses fourteen key domains, and per chapter, presents five rankings of EU countries based on composite indicators, which are used as one of the best instruments social science has to synthesize a large amount of information, and they are especially well suited to measure multidimensional social phenomena. The new System of Indices on the Quality of European Societies (SIQES) presented in this volume offers a very broad and rich empirical overview of more than 70 social composite indicators and their nearly 300 dimensions. One of the key findings coming out from the SIQES is that, according to the societal quality of European countries, there exist five different ?Europes? inside Europe. 410 0$aSocial Indicators Research Series,$x1387-6570 ;$v75 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aStatistics 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 14$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aStatistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 676 $a306.09409045 676 $a306.361 702 $aBericat Alastuey$b Eduardo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJiménez-Rodrigo$b María Luisa$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337728203321 996 $aThe Quality of European Societies$92518923 997 $aUNINA
