    En este trabajo se estudia la calidad de vida en la UE-28 desde una perspectiva multidimensional que refleje lo que sienten y lo que realmente tienen los ciudadanos europeos, utilizando para ello los datos de la Encuesta Europea de Calidad de Vida (EQLS) del año 2016. Tras una selección tanto de indicadores subjetivos (satisfacciones de índole social) como de variables de tipo económico, construimos mediante una aplicación secuencial de dos métodos diferentes de agrupación (análisis de componentes principales e indicador de Mazziotta-Pareto) indicadores compuestos. Estos indicadores sintéticos permiten establecer diferencias entre los países analizando la calidad de vida desde dos enfoques diferentes (subjetivo y económico), resultando estar altamente correlacionados. Además se concluye que los países del norte y de Europa occidental tienen mayor calidad de vida que los del sur y este de la UE.

    This paper studies the quality of life in the EU-28 from a multidimensional perspective that reflects what they feel and what European citizens really have, using data from the European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) for the year 2016.

    After a selection of both subjective indicators (satisfactions of a social nature) and variables of economic type, we constructed by means of a sequential application of two different grouping methods (analysis of main components and Mazziotta-Pareto indicator) composite indicators. These synthetic indicators allow to establish differences between the countries analyzing the quality of life from two different approaches (subjective and economic), resulting to be highly correlated. In addition, it is concluded that the countries of the north and of Western Europe have a higher quality of life than those of the south and east of the EU
