Importance of Quality of Life

For living a successful and prosperous family life, quality of life is necessary. It helps
in the overall development of any family. It not only affects the families but directly or
indirectly affects the society and the nation to a great extent. Generally, the people of
developing countries with large family size and high population growth rate have low
quality of life due to lack of means and resources. Quality of life is a basis for happiness
and joy. The importance of quality of life is mentioned below:

a. Fulfillment of Basic Needs
The basic needs for survival include food, clothes, shelter, good health, security, etc.
Quality life plays an important role in the fulfillment of these needs. The family having
quality of life can easily manage for all these needs. Without the fulfillment of these needs,
quality of life can’t be maintained. So, to fulfill the basic needs, we need quality of life.
