Author: Iskra Stanceva-Gigov, Vladimir Petkovski
Abstract: Over the past few decades, the problem of social segregation of the population has become quite significant for the economies of countries around the world. The great differences between countries and the quality of life of the people increased even more during the global pandemic crisis. The Republic of North Macedonia as a developing country faces a serious challenge of improving the quality of life conditions. The socio-economic living conditions and the subjective perception of them are two factors that affect the complete assessment of the quality of life. The second, significantly depends on the priorities and needs of citizens, and reflects the perceptions of individuals. This type of data can only be gained through primary research. Hence, this paper aims to measure subjective perception of the population about the quality of life in the Republic of North Macedonia, especialy during the pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus. The obtained results indicate that in general, the perceptions of individuals of various aspects of life and overall quality of life are satisfied at an average and often below average level. With the appearance of the pandemic, there is a tendency for their further deterioration or eventual maintenance at the same level.
