Abstract

By investigating living standards in Slovenia in the 1980’s this article attempts to prove a hypothesis about the ambiguity of prosperity as far as possession of certain assets and housing standards are concerned. The author explores the subject by analyzing data collected through the "Quality of Life Survey" in 1984 and 1991 by random sampling. The results prove the ambiguity of prosperity by showing a substantial improvement in living standards on the one hand and a heightened perception of decreasing prosperity on the other.
