Life satisfaction
Over three fourths of the Poles (75,7%) are in general satisfied with their life, including one fourth who are very satisfied (25,1%). One in five interviewees describe their level of contentment as average (20,3%). Only 3,6% of interviewees declare dissatisfaction with their lives and the vast majority of them describe themselves as rather dissatisfied. Between December 2014 and December 2015 the number of very satisfied interviewees increased by 5 percentage points. It has been the highest proportion since 1994.

Further analysis shows that life satisfaction is related to the assessment of the private life. The assessment and forecasts for economic and political situation in the country are not significant in predicting the overall level of contentment with life.
More on that issue can be found in the CBOS report in Polish “Life Satisfaction”.
The data comes from the survey “Current Problems and Events” conducted in December 2015.
