The wellbeing of the residents of Ukraine in December 2016: The growing trend of hope for better off for the country and for the family at the end of the year

Five years in a row KIIS have been conducting an annual systematical assessment of two indices for the evaluation and monitoring of public and individual well-being: the index of social well-being (ISW) and the index of individual well-being (IIW). Index values may range from -100 to 100 points, where -100 indicates the lowest assessment of the situation and dissatisfaction, and 100 - the highest score and overall satisfaction with the situation in the country or the own life. A detailed description of the index calculation can be found in the Addition.

In December 2016 the average value of ISW was -51, while the individual well-being was estimated much higher - at -3 points. Such a large difference in the indices shows that despite all the hardships, on average the Ukrainians are much more satisfied with their own lives than with the life of a country.

COMMENTARY ABOUT THE STANDARDS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE SOCIOLOGICAL RATINGS

It turns out that many people interpret the sociological ratings incorrectly. Partly it is the fault of sociologists because they can not agree on the standards for the publication of ratings (actually they have agreed on some but not all). This comment is ought to help the readers of our site to understand this matter.

The first thing that is always made public is the percentage of those who will vote for a particular party (or candidate) WITH THE RESPECT TO ALL RESPONDENTS. This is the direct results of the survey, and in relation to these indicators, the sampling errors are calculated. These data are needed to compare different studies, but THEY DO NOT SHOW WHAT PARTIES WILL BE ELECTED TO THE PARLIAMENT.
