Istraživanje životnog kvaliteta stanovnika Evrope English: Germans are satisfied and happy Danes The financial crisis has affected the mood of the population of Europe. Many feel the frustration, but there are exceptions. Germans, for example, feel better and better, and the real key to happiness possess Danes. Regardless of the euro crisis and the crisis of banks, the Germans are more satisfied with their lives than before, before the outbreak of the financial crisis. The percentage of those who feel very satisfied in the past five years with a 53 percent increased to 61 percent. The growth of eight percent is really very important, it is not an accident, says Paul Schreyer, an author of the latest study OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), which has been studied the life quality of the population of Europe. However, the Germans in their life satisfaction obviously are currently still lonely. Primarily atmosphere that prevails in the south of Europe is not exactly rosy. Residents of Greece, Italy and Spain during the crisis have not only lost a portion of their income, but also a sense of confidence in the future. The feeling of satisfaction is therefore in these countries since the beginning of the financial crisis, 2007th year, fell by 20 percent. Even more in these countries decreased sense of confidence in the governments of these countries. Strong dissatisfaction and distrust of government, the government of Greece Strong dissatisfaction and distrust of government, the government of Greece Germans believe their government OECD study is a part of the Initiative for a Better Life (Better-Live-Initiative), to which this organization has been following the situation in individual countries. One of the main messages of this study is that individual governments would be better off in their work would not be as focused on social gross income is already more on the factors that affect the mood and feeling of satisfaction of citizens. And in this budget are primarily residential areas, fairness in terms of monthly wages, educational opportunities and the quality of the environment that surrounds them. What is particularly surprising is that Germany by fulfilling all these criteria is somewhere in the middle of the list of European countries, but its citizens are nevertheless feel satisfied and that feeling is growing. At the same time, and increased sense of confidence in the government of this country and from 35 to 42 percent. Denmark - land of happiness and confidence Denmark - land of happiness and confidence Happy and satisfied with the Danes Sociologist Stefan Weick from the Leibniz Institute for a long time also explores the phenomenon of correlation feelings of satisfaction, trust in the government and the general public trust in state government offices in different countries. He found that above all Danes living in Europe more relaxed and happier than most of the other inhabitants of this continent. Of course, one must take into account the relatively high monthly income in Denmark. But that does not explain everything. Studies in many European countries have shown, having reached one particular standard, one a certain level of quality of life, the sense of satisfaction does not increase even if the growth of monthly income, says Weick. He added that in his opinion the satisfaction of the Danes not only material but also social causes. And this has to do with confidence in the government offices and institutions. On the basis of this trust, the Danes with a crisis wear better than others. Danger of losing their jobs naturally exists in this country, but people just believe that if you lose one, you will soon find another job, says Weick. Doubter from the East As examples of the opposite atmosphere than in Denmark, Weick says the mood prevailing in Poland, Czech Republic and other Eastern European countries. The reason is precisely the lack of trust in government institutions, although actually due to the financial situation could be happier than they are. Crisis in Spain special feel young Crisis in Spain special feel young As Germany is concerned, it is currently moving more in the direction of Denmark but Eastern Europe. According to OECD estimates, the situation in southern Europe could be due to the economic crisis worsen. Especially the high rate of unemployment among young people, these countries adopted a long-term negative effects. These countries are losing the so-called capital of humanity, and he is losing more if the young people tend to get in a work process. Young lose their ability to obtain and collect experience, and thus weakening their chances for the future, says Schreyer.
