Quality of Life as a Factor of Increasing the Socio-Economic Development of the Country
Abstract
The article generalizes and systematizes the basic scientific approaches to definition of essence of category of «quality of life». Based on the analysis of the scientific works of domestic and foreign researchers, the author’s own definition of quality of life is suggested as the subjective-objective measure of personal perception and satisfaction of the psycho-physiological and socio-economic aspects of human life. The data on the constituents of the Quality of Life Index in Ukraine, developed by the world database Numbeo, are systematized. Possible reasons of Ukraine’s backlog according to the indicators of the Quality of Life Index in comparison with neighboring countries are substantiated. Recommendations on improvement of quality of life in Ukraine are proposed, which, in turn, should contribute to improvement of the socio-economic development of the country as a whole. In particular, emphasis is placed on the need to pay special attention to the countering corruption, improving the quality of health care and environmental protection activities, which is now a topical task for most national economies of the world.
