Description

This table contains figures on the well-being of the adult Dutch population, in terms of happiness and satisfaction with life. The figures are based on the Permanent Research on Living Situation (POLS) and Social Cohesion & Welfare (S & W). The POLS ran from 1997 to 2010 and S & W runs from 2012. The figures are broken down by the personal characteristics of sex, age, highest educational attainment and migration background. To make the figures from both studies comparable, a time series model has been estimated. On this basis, the figures from POLS have been adjusted, so that the trend break with the figures from S & W has been repaired. This allows the time series to be displayed from 1997 onwards. No observation took place in 2011. The figures for that year are still estimated, but as a result there are no confidence intervals available for 2011. In the statistical years 2020 and 2021, the observation for the Social Cohesion and Well-being survey was disrupted by the coronavirus crisis. In part of the year it was not possible to conduct interviews at home and therefore only came in via the internet and telephone response. To deal with this, the weighing model of the survey on social cohesion and well-being has been adapted for the years 2020 and 2021. In doing so, time series models were used to correct for the loss of part of the observation. As a result, the figures have been made as comparable as possible to those of previous years. Data available from: 1997 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Amendments as of 18 March 2022: The 2021 annual figures have been added. When will there be new figures? Figures for the 2022 reporting year will be published mid-2023.
