• The perceptions of individuals are an essential component of the complex perspective of a country’s socio-economic profile, and ultimately they comprise an essential element when forming social policies. Ignoring the subjective dimension of welfare hence suggests that people’s perceptions of their economic welfare is relatively unconsidered in policy development. The main scientific goal of the project is to propose novel approaches to estimating subjective poverty lines and to examine trends in subjective welfare in the context of broader socio-economic changes in the European Union. This project will contribute to the ongoing research in the field of subjective welfare and subjective well-being in numerous important ways. Among others, it will make contributions to the field of subjective poverty measurement, and it will to the field provide new empirical evidence on subjective poverty and associated phenomena in Europe.
