英文文献摘要：
This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of interrelationships among the determinants of the Quality of Life (QOL). We show that various measures of well-being are highly sensitive to domains of QOL that are considered in the construction of comparative indices, and how measurable inputs into the well-being indicators are aggregated and weighted to arrive at composite measures of QOL. We present a picture of conditions among the 43 countries of the world with respect to such interrelated domains of QOL as the relationship with family and friends, emotional well-being, health, work and productivity, material well-being, feeling part of one's community, personal safety, and the quality of environment. On the basis of Borda Rule and the principal components approach, we search for factor-indices that may function as QOL indices comparatively across countries. Such indices can be useful in making QOL comparisons and evaluations with reference to both time and place. Comparing and analyzing well-being conditions among countries in this way are aimed at facilitating the discovery of extant of problems with government policies impacting QOL.

本文试图提供一个全面的分析之间的决定因素的生活质量(QOL)。我们表明，不同的幸福指数对构建比较指数时考虑的生活质量领域高度敏感，以及如何对幸福指数的可测量输入进行聚合和加权，以得出生活质量的综合指标。我们展示了世界上43个国家在诸如与家庭和朋友的关系、情感福祉、健康、工作和生产力、物质福祉、作为社区的一部分的感觉、个人安全和环境质量等相关的生活质量方面的情况。在波达规则和主成分法的基础上，我们寻找了在不同国家间可以相对发挥生活质量指数作用的因子指数。这些指标可用于在参照时间和地点进行生活质量比较和评价。通过这种方式比较和分析不同国家的幸福状况，旨在帮助发现影响生活质量的政府政策中存在的问题。
