What is the meaning of quality of life? What are the parameters or indicators to measure the quality of life?

Definition

Quality of life is a broad concept that encompasses a number of different dimensions (by which we understand the elements or factors making up a complete entity, that can be measured through a set of sub dimensions with an associated number of indicators for each). It encompasses both objective factors (e.g. command of material resources, health, work status, living conditions and many others) and the subjective perception one has of them. The latter depends significantly on citizens’ priorities and needs. Measuring quality of life for different populations and countries in a comparable manner is a complex task, and a scoreboard of indicators covering a number of relevant dimensions is needed for this purpose.

Other measures

National accounts aggregates have become an important indicator of the economic performance and living standards of societies. This is because they allow direct comparisons to be made easily. Gross Domestic Product GDP, one of these aggregates, is the most common measure of the economic activity of a region or a country at a given time; many decision and policy makers use it as the standard benchmark, often basing their decisions or recommendations on it. It includes all final goods and services an economy produces and provides a snapshot of its performance.

8+1 dimensions of quality of life

Based on academic research and several initiatives, the following 8+1 dimensions/domains have been defined as an overarching framework for the measurement of well-being. Ideally, they should be considered simultaneously, because of potential trade-offs between them:

• Material living conditions (income, consumption and material conditions)
• Productive or main activity
• Health
• Education

• Leisure and social interactions
