STA, 31 December 2019 - A Vox Populi public opinion poll commissioned by the newspaper Dnevnik shows that Slovenians are quite satisfied with their lives, with the respondents assessing the quality of life with an average mark of 3.38 on a one-to-five scale.
More than 41% of the people polled said they were satisfied (4) and 6% that they were very satisfied (5) with their lives.
Almost 40% gave the quality of their lives the medium mark (3), while the share of people dissatisfied with their lives was 13.1%, which is a drop in comparison with the previous year.
More than 11% gave the quality of their lives a 2, and only 2% opted for the worst mark (1), shows the survey conducted by Ninamedia between 10 and 12 December among 700 adults.
When socio-demographic data are taken into account, it shows that persons younger than 30 are the most satisfied with their lives and that satisfaction is proportionate with the level of education.
There are more men than women among those who are satisfied with their lives, while in terms of party preferences, the most satisfied are supporters of the opposition New Slovenia (NSi) and Left and the ruling Marjan Šarec List (LMŠ).
Some 68% of the respondents said the situation in their households was the same as in 2018, 15.8% said it was worse, and 15.4% that it was better.
