The report uses Eurofound’s European Quality of Life Survey to capture changes and developments in the quality of life of Turkish people, measured at three periods: 2003, 2007 and 2012. It examines the key improvements in quality of life and investigates whether all social groups benefited equally. The report explores the impact of recent policy changes and charts new expectations that may be emerging in Turkey It finds that people in Turkey became much more satisfied with their lives over the period; they overtook the EU average in terms of satisfaction with health services and self- assessed health; poverty and material deprivation diminished. However, Turkey has a very high proportion of early school leavers, and gender inequality remains stark. |
