ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11205-008-9347-z | Abstract: | The Asia Barometer Survey of 1,038 respondents shows that most Singaporeans are happy and enjoy life, although they do not feel a correspondingly high level of accomplishment. Good health, a comfortable home, a job, time with family and having enough to eat emerged as key priorities in life. While Singaporeans are most satisfied with their marriages, family life, friendship, housing, and public safety, their perceptions of their overall quality of life are mostly influenced by their relationships with significant others and their satisfaction with their homes. Detailed demographic analyses are provided and policy implications are discussed in light of these findings. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008. | Source Title: | Social Indicators Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/43932 | ISSN: | 03038300 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11205-008-9347-z |
