Quality of Life may be looked at in terms of needs and wants.
Basic Needs are the things we need to survive.
Standard of Living is a way to measure the goods and services available in different places using statistics. These goods and services help meet the needs and wants of the people who live there.
One drawback to using this S.O.L to measure quality of life is that there are things that are important to happiness and wellness that are neither goods nor services - and therefore they are hard to measure.
Notes from the textbook pages in class, P. 82-83, see link below:
