The goal of this paper was the analysis of a relationship between subjective health, aging, education level and happiness based on the data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP). Health gets worse with age, and the effect was strongest in postsocialist Europe; the effect of education was weaker than the effect of age - the weakest in postsocialist countries. The interaction between age and education was significant in 4 out of 5 regions (non-significant in wealthy ones outside Europe), indicating a moderating effect of education on the negative relationship between age and health. Declared levels of happiness in postsocialist countries were the lowest among the analyzed regions in each age group, with a clear downward trend in the older age groups. It was shown that women declared a lower level of happiness compared to men in postsocialist countries. (original abstract)

Celem niniejszej pracy była analiza relacji pomiędzy subiektywnym stanem zdrowia, starzeniem się, poziomem wykształcenia i szczęściem w oparciu o dane z Międzynarodowego Programu Badań Społecznych (ISSP). Zdrowie pogarsza się wraz z wiekiem, a wpływ ten najmocniej był widoczny w krajach postsocjalistycznej Europy. Wpływ wykształcenia był słabszy niż wpływ wieku - najsłabszy w krajach postsocjalistycznych. Interakcja między wiekiem i wykształceniem była znacząca w 4 z 5 badanych regionów (nieistotna w bogatych krajach spoza Europy), co wskazuje na łagodzący wpływ wykształcenia na negatywny związek między wiekiem i zdrowiem. Deklarowany poziom szczęścia w krajach posocjalistycznych był najniższy spośród analizowanych regionów w każdej grupie wiekowej, z tendencją spadkową w starszych grupach wiekowych. Wykazano, że kobiety deklarowały niższy poziom szczęścia w porównaniu z mężczyznami w krajach postsocjalistycznych. (abstrakt oryginalny)
