According to the Multidimensional Quality of Life Indicator (IMCV), published this Wednesday by the INE, the increase is due to the improvement in the score of the indicators Work, Education, Environment and environment and General experience of life.
On the contrary, their score worsened compared to 2022 Material living conditions, Health, Leisure and social relations, and Physical and personal safety.
In this edition of the IMCV, the dimension of Governance and basic rights has not been updated as it has not been included in the 2023 Living Conditions Survey, the Quality of Life module, explains the INE.
