Unreferenced date December 2009 Mergeto Quality of life index discuss Talk quality of life index Merger proposal date January 2009 The Physical Quality of Life Index PQLI is an attempt to measure the quality of life or well being of a country. The value is the average of three statistics basic literacy rate, infant mortality, and life expectancy at age one, all equally weighted on a 0 to 100 scale. It was developed for the Overseas Development Council in the mid 1970s by Morris David Morris, as one of a number of measures created due to dissatisfaction with the use of gross national product GNP as an indicator of development. PQLI might be regarded as an improvement but shares the general problems of measuring quality of life in a quantitative way. It has also been criticized because there is considerable overlap between infant mortality and life expectancy. The UN Human Development Index is a more widely used means of measuring well being.

It is time that is set aside for paying full and undivided attention to the person matter at hand. It may also refer to time spent performing some favored activity e.g., a hobby or packing suitcases to move across the world with loved ones . The opportunity to experience quality time, or the actual time available to enjoy quality time is often limited. However, this is outweighed by the importance, intensity or value attached to events or interactions which occur during quality time. Quality time therefore has a degree of emotional or social quality which other aspects of personal life may lack.
