Societal and economic effects on quality of life and well-being: preference identification and priority setting in response to changes in labour market status


EPICURUS Project Description

The project aims to answer the following high-level questions:

  • How do working patterns (and changes in them), social norms in the workplace and inequalities in socio-economic status affect the quality of life and well being of individuals across different EU countries?
  • How does job satisfaction influence the quality of life and well being of individuals across different EU countries, given different social norms?
  • How can we improve our understanding and assessment of how people change their perceptions of their quality of life and well being in response to changes in labour market status and social norms by eliciting their preference priority setting behaviour?
