The survey "How we are today" started in 2021 in ten EU countries, including Austria. Every three months, changes in living conditions, income and well-being of private households in Austria are recorded.
The fast availability, accuracy and comparability of the data will help to identify the accompanying and subsequent effects of crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic or the current price increases on the population in a timely manner.
Main topics in the questionnaire are household income, household financial expenditures and obligations, getting by on income, payment difficulties, and life satisfaction. This provides information on living conditions of different groups and on social crisis consequences. These results are an important basis for social policy in Austria.
The survey "How we are today" is not offered in English.
