Yes, but we must preserve it, economically, politically and socially, and even militarily, we must improve all of that to preserve these achievements!

I often think this is a much neglected aspect of working and living in Europe and something we don’t take enough advantage of when trying to pull in corporations and talent to work here.

Quality of life has decreased in Romania. We have the highest prices for necessities compared to salaries.

Wouldn’t swap it with any other place.

i think its true that Europe is better place to live in.
But.
widening gap in GDP and GDP per capita, contraction of jobs, loosing competition at some areas to China, some others to US – this all is very likely to change situation in the future. GDP does matter, because it’s money, and such things as “quality of life” is hard to measure and it depends on how you define this

First regulatory super power, now that EU has been bullied out of some regulations there is the invention of quality of life superpower. Next when money runs out for social programs, we will be an ethical super power.

Yeah, let’s pretend that Europe is not falling behind US and China, that most countries are not raising their retiring age and that many economies are not in risk of recession. We’ll eventually lose this “quality of life” with this coping mentality

See how the other countries are slowly trying to push a narrative that europe “needs privatization” on the internet.
We are actually pain in the ass for countries like the USA and China because of this and they are trying to undermine it.

The EU is becoming the world’s **boomers**’ quality of life superpower…. not so for any other following generations

>Using simple country characteristics such as data on life expectancy at birth, hours worked per person and consumption inequality as well as consumption, the model arrives at a welfare score
So, by Western countries standards, European Union is a “quality of life” superpower.

What is the point of this forum? Europe is in danger of collapsing.

Of course Europe leads in basic quality of life, but to achieve that it’s bankrupting itself and is completely dependent on outside forces. No more energy/resource production, low salaries leading to brain drain. Bringing in massive amounts of incompatible immigrants to fix low birth rates.
Quality of life will drop.

Isn’t it achieved by sacrificing new generation of Europeans, since maintaining social welfare state becomes more and more costly, thus, young people will see some sharp decline in QoL later?

Very convenient to fantasize about the present, being oblivious of the future.

TBF, that was only the case because the US provided security through military strength and the EU was manufacturing powerhouse due to cheap and reliable energy sources. Now with the drastic increase in military spending, and reduced exports, manufacturing capabilities, topped on by the migrant crisis where some are not integrating well and potential cuts to social welfare, I expect that to change in the near future.

Yes, BUT it’s unsustainable.

We should not let the fascists take that from us!

So, basically, a really big retirement home.
That’s nothing to be proud of.

This is hilarious the absolute circlejerk of this article. People celebrating themselves meanwhile, Eurosceptic party have never been higher in the poll.

I hope it does not mean that we are trading our ability to compete for comfort. Because down the line we might lose both this way.
