Published By: UNU-WIDER on eSS | Published Date: January, 28 , 2005This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of interrelationships among the
determinants of the quality of life (QOL). They show that various measures of well-being
are highly sensitive to domains of QOL that are considered in the construction of
comparative indices, and how measurable well-being indicators are aggregated and
weighted to arrive at composite measures of QOL. [Research Paper No. 2005/06]
