Basque society is pretty happy, it cares about housing and it's not very interested in politics
The Basques have the highest level of happiness in the last decade (7.7 out of 10) and are generally satisfied, although at the same time they do not see the future very bright, not least because of the concern about housing, as evidenced by the results of the 87 Basque Sociometer published today by the Cabinet of Sociological Prospecting of the Basque Government.
The study, based on surveys of 3,030 people in November, shows a clear discrepancy in the assessment of the political and economic situation of the Basque Country and Spain, and that the CSC is significantly better than the Spanish one in both areas.
66% of Basques believe that the political situation in the Basque Country is good or very good, but only 18% think the same about the Spanish State. The perception of State policy, although slightly improved in recent months, remains very negative.
In the economic sphere, the gap is greater, because although 72% see the Basque economy well, only 37% see the Spanish economy well.
Concern about housing, like the 2007 bubbles.
The price of housing and access to housing is the most important social concern, according to 58% of the population, similar to the concern of the time of the housing bubble in 2007. The list of problems is the labour markets (42%), insecurity (25%) and the state of the health system (25%).
In the personal sphere, the problems most affecting daily life are employment and the economy (24 per cent) and housing (23 per cent), as well as health (19 per cent) and insecurity (17 per cent).
