Talk:Quality-of-life index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does this page really need to exist? It seems like a biased, less accurate/precise version of the HDI. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Development_Index

Extremely biased; this should not be on the group of lists by countries. I guess it's a good way to make Russia look bad, I mean seriously, less quality of life than most undeveloped countries? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paxuniv (talk • contribs) 00:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

The HDI and the Qualit of Life Index are different. The HDI is based on three objective indicators, the Quality of Life Index is based on subjective evaluations (life-satisfaction judgments). Which ranking is more appropriate depends on the definition of quality of life and the purpose of the comparison.

Russia has several major problems that lower it's QOL index. It has rather low political freedom (6/5 where 1 is best and 7 worst). On democracy reviews Russia is only a hybrid regime (102 of 167). The life expectancy is also quite low (128 of 157). --Jhattara ^{(Talk · Contrib)} 07:45, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
