GLOBAL QUALITY OF LIFE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WEALTHY AND DEVELOPING NATIONS
IT HAS LONG BEEN ACCEPTED THAT MATERIAL WELL-BEING, AS MEASURED BY THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP) PER PERSON, CANNOT ALONE EXPLAIN THE BROADER QUALITY OF LIFE IN A COUNTRY. ONE STRAND OF THE LITERATE HAS TRIED TO ADJUST GDP BY QUANTIFYING FACETS THAT ARE OMITTED BY THE GDP MEASURE - VARIOUS NON-MARKET ACTIVITIES AND SOCIAL ILLS SUCH AS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. BUT THE APPROACH HAS FACED INSURMOUNTABLE DIFFICULTIES IN ASSIGNING MONETARY VALUES TO THE VARIOUS FACTORS AND INTANGIBLES THAT COMPRISE A WIDER MEASURE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC WELL-BEING. THE ECONOMIST INTELLIGENCE UNIT HAS DEVELOPED A NEW “QUALITY OF LIFE” INDEX BASED ON A UNIQUE METHODOLOY THAT LINKS THE RESULTS OF SUBJECTIVE LIFE-SATISFACTION SURVEYS TO THE OBJECTIVE DETERMINANTS OF QUALITY OF LIFE ACROSS COUNTRIES.
