商品描述

This volume presents a compilation of composite indicators created in order to measure important aspects of the quality of European societies. It examines three main questions: do Europeans live in good societies and enjoy good lives; are European societies becoming better as time passes, or is their quality slowly deteriorating; is the quality of life of Europe's citizens improving over time or is it gradually and irrecoverably getting worse. The volume uses a precise and rigorous system of information to answer these questions and to assess the current situation and monitor the quality of European societies. It describes and discusses fourteen key domains, and per chapter, presents five rankings of EU countries based on composite indicators, which are used as one of the best instruments social science has to synthesize a large amount of information, and they are especially well suited to measure multidimensional social phenomena. The new System of Indices on the Quality of European Societies (SIQES) presented in this volume offers a very broad and rich empirical overview of more than 70 social composite indicators and their nearly 300 dimensions. One of the key findings coming out from the SIQES is that, according to the societal quality of European countries, there exist five different "Europes" inside Europe.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

本卷呈現了一系列複合指標的彙編，旨在衡量歐洲社會質量的重要方面。它探討了三個主要問題：歐洲人是否生活在良好的社會中並享有美好的生活；隨著時間的推移，歐洲社會是否變得更好，還是其質量正在緩慢惡化；歐洲公民的生活質量是否隨著時間的推移而改善，還是逐漸且不可逆轉地變得更糟。本卷使用精確且嚴謹的信息系統來回答這些問題，評估當前情況並監測歐洲社會的質量。它描述並討論了十四個關鍵領域，並在每一章中根據複合指標呈現五個歐盟國家的排名，這些指標被視為社會科學用來綜合大量信息的最佳工具之一，特別適合用來衡量多維社會現象。本卷中提出的歐洲社會質量指數系統（SIQES）提供了超過70個社會複合指標及其近300個維度的非常廣泛且豐富的實證概述。從SIQES中得出的關鍵發現之一是，根據歐洲國家的社會質量，歐洲內部存在五種不同的「歐洲」。
