QUALITY OF LIFE IN CROATIA: Well-being in Europe varies considerably by country. Twenty-two percent of Europeans overall are thriving in purpose well-being. However, in southern and Eastern European countries such as Albania, Croatia, and Greece, where unemployment remains in the double digits, residents are much less likely to be thriving in this element (7% to 8%) than those in Western European nations such as Denmark (45%), Austria (36%), and Sweden (33%), where unemployment rates are much lower. Overall, Europeans are most likely to be thriving in financial well-being, at 37%. However, there is a broad range among individual countries, from 11% in Greece to 72% in Sweden. Just over one-fourth of European residents (27%) are thriving in social well-being; country readings for this element range from 16% in Croatia to 47% in Malta. Europeans are less likely to be thriving in physical well-being, at 22%. Results range from 9% in Croatia to more than one-third in Denmark (36%), Austria (35%), and Kosovo (34%). At the other end of the well-being spectrum, Europeans are least likely to be suffering  in community well-being, at 12%. (Source: Gallup-Healthways 2014 State of Global Wellbeing Report)
