Description:This text is a how to book for researchers and government offices wanting to start or improve their own quality of life (QOL) survey. It contains best practices from all over the world and discusses surveys that are being adopted by all countries in the European Union as a standardized measure of each country's progress.

Other chapters describe policy applications of the quality of life surveys, including nations' health goals, smoking cessation, child welfare and poverty reduction.; The authors of these chapters are some of the world's top experts on assessing quality of life. For example, the author of the first chapter is Sten Johansson, former Director of Statistics Sweden, responsible for creating the first comprehensive QOL assessment systems in the world, beginning in the 1960s. The author of the second chapter is Professor Ruut Veenhoven, known as the premier researcher on national happiness, having developed the largest database in the world on the subjective measures of well-being.
