| Description | Our survey was completed by 581 children who were between 8 to 15 years old. They were asked to describe how they would understand the title of an article 'quality of children's life' in the first task. The second task was to describe poor, average and outstanding way of living of their friends and acquaintances. This survey was a reaction to the lack of research interested in how children themselves see the quality of their lives. Average or outstanding life is most commonly described (as opposite to poor life) by these categories: the child has (both) parents; parents take care of him/her; parents are nice; the family has enough money; the child is good at school; the child is well behaved; the child has everything necessary for its living; the child has relative freedom what to do; the child does a sport. Young children do not understand the concept of QOL (first task) quite often. Older children (11 and older) understand it without difficulty. |
