Self-perceived health by sex, age and labour status

Percentage of the population rating their self-perceived health as "very good", by sex, age and labour status.

This measure provides an indication of individuals’ perceptions of their own health status and personal experiences of health. Looking at differences across countries, and by demographic characteristics, we also observe the picture as regards health inequalities. Health inequalities were one of the key challenges identified to be addressed as part of Horizon 2020. Source: Eurostat
