The dataset has achieved <a href="https://certificates.theodi.org/en/datasets/1621/certificate#embed-49174" title="https://certificates.theodi.org/en/datasets/1621/certificate#embed-49174">Platinum (Expert level) certification</a> from the <a href="http://theodi.org/" title="Open Data Institute">Open Data Institute</a> (ODI) which means this open data is an exceptional example of information infrastructure. The dataset is a harmonised subset of variables taken from the larger European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS), which is one of a number of key surveys carried out by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), a European Union Agency established in 1975 to contribute to the planning and design of better living and working conditions. The open access dataset contains 195 variables from two of the EQLS survey years, 2007 and 2011/12, three weighting variables, and almost 80,000 cases. The EQLS is a unique, pan-European survey, established in 2003 and carried out once every four years. The survey examines both the objective circumstances of European citizens' lives and how they feel about those circumstances and their lives in general. It looks at a range of issues, such as employment, income, education, housing, family, health and work-life balance. It also looks at subjective topics, such as people's levels of happiness, how satisfied they are with their lives, and how they perceive the quality of their societies. Further information about the survey can be found on the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) <a href="http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/european-quality-of-life-surveys-eqls">EQLS</a> webpage. A larger EQLS combined file spanning 2003-2012, subject to standard End User Licence access conditions, is available to registered UK Data Service users under SN 7348 - <a href="https://discover.ukdataservice.ac.uk/catalogue/?sn=7348" title="European Quality of Life Survey Integrated Data File, 2003-2012">European Quality of Life Survey Integrated Data File, 2003-2012</a> Main Topics: The survey covers multiple dimensions of quality of life: employment and work-life balance, income and deprivation, housing and local environment, family and social contacts, health and mental wellbeing, subjective wellbeing (e.g. happiness, life satisfaction), social exclusion, perceived quality of society (e.g. tensions, trust in institutions) as well as access to and perceived quality of public services.
