【新唐人2011年10月14日讯】经合组织近期公布了有关生活质量的调查报告，中国在41个参加“生活满意度”调查的国家之中排名倒数第一。民众认为这是预料之中的事。而学者认为，中国只追求表面的GDP增长值，并不重视生活质量方面的指标。
经合组织12号公布了今年5月份启动，在10年前就展开了的有关《生活质量(How’s Life)》的调查报告，经合组织使用的衡量标准不再是一个国家经济增长的速度或者整体经济规模，而是采用了广泛的衡量标准，其中包括收入、工作、住房、健康、教育、环境等11项指标，以便全面反映一国民众的生活满意程度。
在41个参加“生活满意度”调查的国家里，中国排名倒数第一。
浙江作家荆楚：我认为这是预料之中，因为这个中国“吹”啊，GDP啊什么增长，那些东西都是站不住脚的，因为你GDP那么增长的话，老百姓为什么过得越来越困苦呢？
深圳李小姐：“这份报告形象的道出了中国老百姓，我们普通老百姓，现在的真正生活现状！你到网上搜索一下，看看网友写的那篇：惊人现状一幕幕：中国人活得有多难，哎~生在中国真的是活也难，死也难啊。”
经合组织秘书长古里亚说，在许多国家面临经济衰退和债务危机的时候，一些人可能认为现在需要关注的不应该是生活质量，应该是如何推动经济增长。但他坚定的认为，现在，在制定政策的时候有必要保持更加开阔的视野。
古里亚说，“增长”这个习惯的思考方式是不够的。他说，目前的政治环境虽然很艰难，但除了考虑收入水平之外，还要确定核心目标，如公民的福祉、拥有的机会和保护社会与自然环境等。
荆楚：“30年之前大家脸上还能看到阳光，看到笑容，现在在国内生活呢，大家都是忧戚，那种非常憔悴，忧伤的那种感觉，没有一种快活，在这种心境下，肯定是他那个生活指数是非常低的，因为国内贫富悬殊啊，分配不公啊，这些问题其实是一个实质问题，因为一个特权者，它随时可以掠夺你的一切。 ”
前山东大学孙文广教授指出，中国只追求表面的GDP增长值，并不重视生活质量方面的指标。
孙文广：“中国呢，他对影响国民的生活的一些重要的指标他是不重视的，比如这个环境条件空气污染啊，他应该大力治理才对，他觉得治理这些东西要花一些投资，他就不愿投入，还有医疗保险也是这样，现在很多低收入家庭看病就是个大事啊，有的农民有病没有钱医，生一场大病就面临破产，像这种情况很多的。所以中国呢，只追求表面的GDP增长值，并不重视生活质量方面的指标。 ”
在“生活满意度”排行榜报告中，丹麦、加拿大和挪威位居前三名，美国居第12位，排在后面但在中国之前的国家有：匈牙利、印度、爱沙尼亚、俄罗斯等。

China’s Life Satisfaction Ranked Last
The OECD recently published a survey report on the quality
of life. Among 41 participants, China ranks last.
Civilians comment that this is predicable. Scholars point
out that China’s authorities only seek GDP growth figures,
without attaching importance to quality of life indicators.
On October 12, OECD issued a survey report titled
‘How’s Life.’ The survey was initiated this May.
Not measuring the national economic growth rate or overall
economic scale, the latest survey adopts 11 indicators,
including income, employment, housing, health, education
and environment, to reflect people’s life satisfaction.
Among 41 participating countries in the survey,
China ranks last.
Jing Chu (Zhejiang-based writer): “I think this is predicable,
for the authorities always brag about things like GDP growth.
All those boasts are untenable. If your GDP is soaring
that much, why are civilians’ lives getting more miserable?”
Miss Lee (Shenzhen resident): “This report vividly reflects
the real life situation of Chinese civilians. There is an article
on the topic online, titled “Astonishing Status Quo: How Hard
Is the Life of Chinese? Living is Indeed Hard, So is Dying.”
OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria said, many countries
facing economic recession and debt crisis
believe that instead on quality of life the focus should be
on how to promote the economic growth.
However, he firmly believes that now the policy making
needs to take onboard the broader perspective.
Gurria said, as a habitual way of thinking,
“growth” alone is not enough.
Although the current political environment is very difficult,
besides the income, it should identify core objectives,
such as citizens’ well-being, creating opportunities,
social and natural environment protection, etc.
Jing Chu: “30 years ago, one could see smiles on people’s
faces. Now, the masses are distressed with their lives,
very emaciated and sad-faced. You cannot feel happiness
coming from them. In such a state of mind,
the quality of life is rather poor. In China, the gap between
rich and poor is striking, distribution of social wealth is unfair.
For all these, in reality the essential problem is that
the privileged can plunder everything you own at any time.”
Sun Wenguang, former professor at Shandong University,
points out that China’s authorities only pursue
the GDP growth figures, without paying attention
to the life quality’ indicators.
Sun Wenguang: “Chinese authorities have not taken
seriously some important indicators of civilians’ lives.
such as the environmental condition, air pollution etc.
But the authorities are unwilling to invest in those.
Besides, the health insurance faces the same situation.
Many low-income families have difficulties to access
quality medical services. Some peasants cannot afford
to pay medical bills, an illness can make them go bankrupt.
This is now common in China. Authorities only pursue GDP
growth on paper and pay no attention to life quality factors.”
On the rank list of “life satisfaction", Denmark, Canada
and Norway occupy the top three, the U.S. ranks 12th.
Hungary, India, Estonia and Russia are at end of the list,
but still in front of China.
