Higher quality of life in Armenia?

14:02 • 07.08.12



A survey conducted by the Institute for Political and Sociological Consulting (IPSC) show a 3% improvement in the quality of life in Armenia last year as compared to 2010.

Samvel Manukyan, Economic Data Analyst, said that 47.6% of the respondents were content with their quality of life against 444.6% in 2010.

“People are more discontent with the situation in the country than with the situation in their families. Resolution of a number of social problems has improved the quality of life,” he said.

The government-ordered survey involved 2,000 people.

“10.3% of the respondents are content and 3.3% are living well. However, people are generally dissatisfied,” Manukyan said. In Armenia’s regions people are more content with life than in Armenia’s capital.
