Abstract
A multidimensional approach to measuring the quality of life across countries is introduced. I operationalize Sen's concept that other factors besides gross domestic product and mortality rates should be incorporated into any quality of life analysis. This paper examines 20 attributes for 126 countries in computing a new index.Keywords
