Measuring, Monitoring and Modeling Quality of Life
Issues addressed include use of multi-dimensional vs. single scalar approaches to measuring quality of life. The former seems preferable to the latter. This is illustrated by reference to examples from the national accounts systems approach, using objective data only, as proposed by Nestor Terleckyj, and the local use of questionnaires and interviews to deal with subjective feelings and reactions as reported in the citizen-type panel arrangements suggested by Norman Johnson and Edward Ward. Ways of allowing for trends and dynamic changes are examined and, inter alia, audits and other devices are suggested for detecting emerging needs for new roles and social-institutional arrangements. Areas that may lie beyond any such measurement and detection systems are also examined.
