Quality of Life
Quality of life
The well-being or quality of life of a population is an important concern in
economics and
political science. It is measured by many social and economic factors. A large part is
standard of living, the amount of money and access to goods and services that a person has; these numbers are fairly easily measured. Others like
freedom,
happiness,
art,
environmental health, and
innovation are far harder to measure. This has created an inevitable imbalance as programs and policies are created to fit the easily available economic numbers while ignoring the other measures, that are very difficult to plan for or assess.
