Avner Offer: Quality of Life and Well-being in Israel Today

Series
Israel Studies Seminar
Audio Embed
Avner offer discusses how to measure -- and how to understand the measurements -- of quality of life and well-being in Israel.

Israel scores very high internationally in the reported happiness of its Jewish inhabitants, and government politicians make much of that survey result. On the face of it there is a paradox: the country does not score high on other quality-of-life indicators and is not an easy place to live in. Prof. Offer reports on the construction and record of quality-of-life indicators more generally, on what they tell us about Israel, on currently ongoing research about well-being in the country, and on how the paradox might be understood and resolved.
