Measuring the Quality of Life: Some Emerging Trends in the Indian Context

Author(s) Rajrupa Mitra

Abstract Quality of life enjoyed by individuals and the nature and magnitude of human development are quite interrelated. Human development enlarges people’s freedom and opportunities and improves their physical and mental well-being. Consequently, it implies an enhanced quality of life and incorporates expansion of the richness of human life, rather than simply the richness of the economy. It is basically an approach focused on people and their opportunities and choices. Although human development has substantially contributed to enrichment of human lives, it has not benefitted everyone in the same manner. There are barriers to universal development in the form of deprivations and inequalities, discrimination and exclusion, social norms and values, prejudice and intolerance. The inevitable result of such deprivations is a steep deterioration in the quality of life. The objective of this paper is to measure and assess the ‘quality of life’ in different states of India. This is done in respect of certain vital indicators of human development (as well as the quality of life), namely educational attainment, health and standard of living. Findings of the study confirm an emerging trend of gross disparity among Indian states as far as the level and magnitude of human development as also the quality of life is concerned.
