Quality of Life in Mexico: State of the Art, Dimensions, and Future Developments

This book offers insights into what it means and how to understand and measure quality of life (QoL) in the context of Mexico, taking into account its history, culture, and demographic characteristics. It also describes current research on different topics related to QoL and looks at future research developments that are important to engage with. It especially highlights the contributions that a perspective from Mexico can make to the world and looks into developing public policy to improve QoL. The book is divided into three parts: State of the Art, Dimensions of QoL, and Future Developments. This book is of interest to all QoL and wellbeing researchers not only in Mexico and Latin America but to those across the global South, and elsewhere, and to decision-makers looking at social indicators relevant for policy and community development.
