“…For example, Kempa et al [69] used the CAWI method to identify student preferences in the housing market of major Polish cities. Słaby [70] relied on CAWI to investigate the needs of people aged 60+ with regard to the housing system for Polish seniors. Konopielko [71] used CAWI to outline the potential economic and noneconomic motivations for changing residence and to explore opinions on the phenomenon of suburbanisation and the impact of the pandemic on issues related to suburbanisation processes.…”

The deteriorating housing situation of young adults in many countries has become a subject of global interest. Researchers point to a number of factors that influence young adults’ decisions to own or rent a home. This paper examines the relationship between young adults’ inclination to own their own home and a range of different socio-economic factors. The study is of a quantitative-qualitative nature and was based on the results of a computer-assisted web interview (CAWI) questionnaire. The survey was conducted among young Poles aged 18–45 (n = 983). To analyse the results of the questionnaires, a logistic regression was used in which 24 different dichotomous and categorical variables were considered. Taking into account a number of individual characteristics (e.g., gender, education, hometown population size, etc.), the results show, for example, that single individuals and those with a higher level of tolerance for mortgage interest rates are more likely to own a home than to rent. This result highlights the desirability of easier access to mortgage credit. At the other end of the spectrum are those living with parents and those with dependents. The results imply that they are less interested in buying a home. Interestingly, declarations of a lack of funds for an own contribution when buying a new house/dwelling, or reluctance to expose oneself to financial difficulties throughout one’s life, do not discourage young adults from striving for their own dwelling, which further demonstrates the need to create appropriate mechanisms/instruments to facilitate the purchase of a dwelling for young adults.

“…Nowym podejściem do tworzenia systemu wskaźników społecznych była koncepcja wskaźników wiodących (Słaby 1999). W założeniu nie służą one opisowi wybranych dziedzin istotnych dla jakości życia, ale tworzą ciąg informacji podkreślający przyczynowe powiązania w całym systemie.…”

The aim of the paper is to review the systems of quality of life indicators that are used to quantify the categories of quality of life, and to discuss those most frequently used in international and national statistics. The review is based on Polish and foreign literature, as well as on the resources of the websites of international and domestic institutions that publish databases and reports relating to the measurement of social phenomena and processes. The article demonstrates the growing importance of social indicators systems for describing the quality of life and their evolution – expanding the thematic and spatial scope, as well as increasing the share of subjective indicators.

The author intended to present the relationship between the standard of living of EU citizens and the level of the development of renewable energy. It is particularly important in the context of the implementation of the sustainable development idea, by ensuring a high standard of living for both current and future generations, with rational use of available natural resources. The first, theoretical part of the article presents the problem related to the impact of renewable energy on the standard of living in a synthetic way. The second part involves empirical research conducted in all countries of the EU. To evaluate the level of renewable energy development and the standard of living, the author constructed original measures based on the TOPSIS method. Variables were selected on the basis of substantive, statistical and formal criteria (primarily the completeness and availability of data in 2019). Within the framework of the conducted study, the author obtained, among other things, a relatively high value of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between the constructed synthetic measures (0.47). Canonical analysis was used to identify the relationship between them. Numerous indicators, including canonical correlations, complete redundancy and extracted variances, were determined with the use of canonical analysis. Seven statistically significant canonical variables were identified. The value of the greatest and most statistically significant canonical correlation exceeded 0.94, and for the last statistically significant canonical variable, the value reached over 0.31. Statistical data were primarily obtained from the publicly available EUROSTAT database.
