Abstract

The Quality of Life in China Study is an annual tracking survey launched by Horizon Research Group in 1993. The data for this year showed that the overall satisfaction with the quality of life of urban and rural residents in 2008 saw a small increase over that for 2007. The further improvements to, or high level stability of, social security, public order, national pride, and confidence in government management were positive factors which promoted the increase in the overall satisfaction with the quality of life. Achievements in national macro-economic development were not fully reflected in micro-economic sentiment; with optimistic expectations towards national economic development prospects, urban and rural residents' confidence in improvements in future quality of life actually took on a declining trend. Keywords: China study; horizon research group; macro-economic development; national economic development; quality of life; rural residents; social security; urban residents
