Young adult Europeans today find it more and more difficult to leave their native nest. The article examines the changes in the percentage of nesters over time, considering their gender, age, and the form of professional activity and employment status. The article also measures the phenomenon of nesting using the linear ordering of countries. Eurostat data were used in the work. The period of the study covers the years 2011–2019, while the spatial scope relates to the 28 countries of the European Union. The results show that more and more young adults live with their parents, and the percentage of nesters varies across Europe. Young adults living with their parents are people with a different employment status and professional activity. Those are employed persons working full-time, employed persons working part-time, unemployed persons, students, employees with a permanent job, employees with a temporary job and other persons outside the labor force. We prove that the problem of nesting between European countries was varied. It is noticeable that this phenomenon is intensifying, especially among the unemployed and those without permanent employment.

The aim of the article is to present the issues of choosing the optimal procedure for the linear ordering of objects and assessing the correctness of the selected methods of the linear ordering. The goal was achieved by creating linear ordering of objects using various methods for normalizing the value of diagnostic features. An aggregate measure based on various properties of the synthetic feature was used to select the optimal ordering, among others, the compatibility of the mapping, the correlation of the synthetic line variable with diagnostic variables, the rank correlation of the synthetic variable with diagnostic variables and the variability of the synthetic variable. The study was conducted based on the example of data concerning 28 European Union countries according to the level of socio-economic development in the context of sustainable development concerning society, economy and the environment. The linear ordering of countries using the quotient transformation with an arithmetic mean turned out to be the most correct ordering

The subject of the article is to assess the similarity of voivodships in Poland in terms of the quality of life of inhabitants and to define typological classes of voivodships concerning the analysed phenomenon. The study was conducted by means of fuzzy classification — C-means. The choice of the method resulted from the nature of the researched phenomenon, which is difficult to identify unequivocally. Data from the CSO studies and the Social Diagnosis 2015 relating to 2014 were used in the research.
The analysis proved that Polish voivodships are very different in terms of the quality of life.

This article aims to assess the diversity of social development in local terms. As a basis for study were the powiats with the rights of the city and rural. Social development is complex and multi-faceted, so to implement the survey methods were used multidimensional comparative analysis — selected two optimization methods: k-means and Wishart. The choice of these methods was associated with a large number of test items. Measurement and evaluation of the local and regional level of social development based on the Index of Local Social Development.

The study presents use of methods of multidimensional comparative analysis to assess the health status of the population by voivodships. Data for the analysis are reproduced from the CSO. An assessment of the differences in health was made using Ward's method. The best results were obtained in the group bringing together the voivodships: Zachodniopomorskie, Śląskie, Mazowieckie, Łódzkie, Pomorskie and Dolnośląskie. In the voivodship group the author observed the smallest number of high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis cases, as well as the most favorable situation for the prevention, among others expressed by the number of women performing mammography. The voivodships characterize by the highest spending on health care from the budget of local governments per 1 thousand inhabitants.

The article detailed the methods of measurement of the life quality, including the role of scales of measurement in the evaluation of the test categories. The analysis of the life quality carried out in terms of objective and subjective approach, allowing to obtain a complete picture of the analyzed categories. Methods for objective measurement of the life quality are described taking into account indicators of both tangible and intangible aspects of living conditions. Then the analysis of the subjective life quality is discussed, based on the respondents opinion. The study provides a rich description of the methods of multidimensional comparative analysis to evaluate the life quality. Also other measures are included, such as the human development index, the conditions and quality of life.

The aim of the study is to identify life conditions of Zachodniopomorskie voivodship inhabitants as well as to indicate relations between factors creating people life conditions. An attempt was made to separate typological powiat groups of similar inhabitant life conditions. The used statistical data come from the Statistical Office in Szczecin publication Warunki życia ludności w województwie zachodniopomorskim w latach 2006–2008 (Life Conditions Of Population In Zachodniopomorskie Voivodship In Years 2006–2008). Due to many factors characterizing the surveyed category the analysis was based on two approaches. The first one was based on powiat taxonomic analysis in particular life areas. The second one relied on ranking preparation and selecting typological powiat groups taking into account all aspects being components of inhabitant life conditions.

The article presents the correspondence analysis used to determine the relationship between variables connected with changes in quality of life in the last three years and the socio-demographic variables (age, civil status, number of children, education, place of residence and employment). An attempt has also been made to answer the question whether the analyzed variable depends on the satisfaction degree with selected aspects of life: personal, social, professional and financial situation. The study was conducted on the basis of a questionnaire survey in which respondents were women being citizens of Zachodniopomorskie voivodship. The analysis was based at the turn of years 2007 and 2008. The correspondence analysis allowed the authors to illustrate the relationship between taken variable categories in the three- and two-dimensional graphs.

Residential real estate as basic goods, satisfy higher needs, which determines their role in every sphere of the society and state functioning. The purpose of the research is to compare a potential of the residential real estate market in the powiats of the West Pomeranian voivodship in years 2006, 2010 and 2014. A linear ordering method was used for this purpose, and the principal component analysis was applied for the characteristics selection. Based on the five diagnostic characteristics adopted in the research, it has been was shown that the potential of the residential real estate market in the powiats of the West Pomeranian voivodship is strongly diversified. It is reflected in the rankings presented in the article. Moderate compliance was found for 2006 and 2010.

This article aims to assess the impact of economic insurance for the development of farms by exploring their development in the division on the farm with them and enjoying not benefit. As the development of farm the authors understand the process leading to the quantitative and qualitative changes in the structure of this group. Data for the study were obtained in surveys conducted
directly with the owners (or managers) of Middle Pomerania farms. The study period covered the year 2012 and for some of the questions included in the survey — 2004—2011. Research hypothesized that the insurance coverage is an important factor in determining the development of farms. The study used Hellwig's standard method and classification of households based on arranging objects. Each community was divided into four groups of households. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the voluntary insurance are economic stimulant for the development of farms.

The primary objective of the article is to present results of taxonomic studies, which use a dynamic approach in the selection of features. The resulting set of diagnostic features was used for classification in years 2002—2009 the average level of socio-economic development observed in the Polish voivodships. Procedure was applied taking into account changes in the relationship between adopted variables. The result is a set of diagnostic features, used to forecast the development of the phenomenon under investigation. The classification was carried out by assessing the similarity of years in terms of the average level of socio-economic development in the regions with the Penrose distance. Adjusting the dendrogram (tree diagram), obtained by application of the furthest neighborhood method, was measured using the cophenetic correlation coefficient.

The article presents a multidimensional analysis of compliance, using Burt matrix, which allows to detect relationships between categories of the dependent and independent characteristics. The surveys use often boundary analysis using two-dimensional contingency tables to detect relationships between pairs off characteristics. The analysis of compatibility addresses one of the most difficult tasks — allows to diagnose the accurate structure of responses, expressed by occurrence frequency of characteristics categories measured on a nominal scale. The presented method is illustrated on the survey example of students at the Zachodniopomorski University of Technology in Szczecin on the perception of changes in the functioning of the university (the merged Technical University and the Agricultural Academy in Szczecin). Source of data in the study was a survey, published on the websites of each university departments. It included questions about both the characteristics of a person, as well as its assessment of the institution, in areas such as: teaching, support for the Dean's Office and central university administration, universities rank, software offer, the chances of finding work for graduates, and the atmosphere at the university. The value of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the analysis of compliance in a complex survey.
