| dc.description.abstract | This paper analyzes life satisfaction in Romania in 2001, 12 years after the collapse of
communism and the beginning of the transition into a market economy. Using a survey
of 1770 individuals, we find that our results are very similar to studies in Western
Europe and the US. Life satisfaction increases with housing standard, health status,
economic situation, education, trusting other people, and living in the countryside, and
decreases with rising unemployment. However, life satisfaction is lower than in
Western countries with about 75% of the people in the sample being not at all satisfied
or quite dissatisfied with their life in general. A policy discussion concludes the paper. | swe |
