      <abstract xml:lang="en">Harmonized data file as the basis for comparative analysis of quality of life in the Candidate Countries and the European Union member states, based on seven different data sets, one Eurobarometer survey covering 13 Candidate Countries with an identical set of variables conducted in April 2002, the other six Standard Eurobarometer of different subjects and fielded in different years, each with another set of questions identical with the CC Eurobarometer. Selected aggregate indicators of quality of life ... describing the social situation in the EU15 and Candidate Countries. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The countries are tentatively grouped according to affinities following a families of nations logic. The indicators were drawn from various sources, mainly provided by supranational organisations. They are grouped into six categories and recorded in the technical report (page 12 ff.):  &lt;br&gt; (1) economy and employment; &lt;br&gt;(2) health; &lt;br&gt;(3) population and family; &lt;br&gt;(4) inequality and social problems; &lt;br&gt;(5) modernisation; &lt;br&gt;(6) political system. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Most indicators refer to the year 2000. Deviations from this rule are explained in the list of indicators, together with definitions, coding, and sources. The indicators are added to the harmonized EB data file for all 28 countries in order to provide an opportunity for multi-level analysis. Selected comprehensive indicators and relevant indices have been defined and constructed for quality of life and subjective well-being as well as for poverty and deprivation measures. &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;The CC-Eurobarometer contains several questions on the perceived income situation of a household and on the availability or lack of certain consumer goods.

These primary sampling units (PSU) are selected from each of the administrative regions in every country. In the second stage, a cluster of addresses is selected from each sampled PSU.
