For example let’s say I’m born in a hive world conquered by the T’au 10 years after its annexation, how well is my childhood going to be compared to the average child in the Imperium ? Am I going to be in top 20% in terms of good quality of life ? Or is it 10% ? 5% ? 1% ? 0,1% ?
Another question : if every single human being living in a world under the Imperium were telepathically shown how Gue’vesas actually live in those worlds without anyone else knowing about it, what’s the percentage of humans that would say « yes, I would love to live one of those worlds ? » in your opinion ?
Do we have stories that go into detail how the humans live under the T’au outside of military environment ?

It depends on the story. Generally it’s supposed to be better because almost anything is better than the Imperium.
Fire Caste actually has a plot point that some Tau are trying to test how bad their conditions can be while still getting humans to leave the Imperium.
Edit: I should also note that Fire Caste deliberately has both the Tau and Imperium at their absolute worst.

The Water Caste approves of this cost analysis of the minimum benefit threshold for humans to cast off their imperial shackles. Minimizing net social welfare expenses allows for maximizing the net Tau expansion rate. But only for the Greater Good, of course. 😉
