What may be totally unacceptable in richer nations such as living in shanty towns might be the norm in poorer nations.

We will try to answer as many questions as possible. Live lessons can easily accommodate learners joining from home.
Read our extra guidance for school closures here. We will open the session with a welcome and brief introduction to the aim of the human fieldwork enquiry. The Tutor will then introduce the location and recap the enquiry question.
Before sharing why this location has been chosen to investigate this question and to consider how to work safely in this environment. Students will be empowered as decision-makers, creating criteria for the Environmental Quality Assessment EQA that will then be completed live in this environment.
Concepts such as happiness, freedom and human rights are also associated with quality of life. Moreover, factors that affect the quality of life may also vary according to individual preferences. For example, while one person may consider the quality of life as wealth and employment, another may define it in terms of health and safety. Standard of living is a measure of wealth and material comfort available to a person or community, whereas quality of life is a highly subjective measure that concerns the general well-being of individuals and societies.
While standard of living is a measurement related to financial components, quality of life includes both financial and non-financial components. Standard of living includes income, GPD, and economic opportunity, whereas quality of life includes various factors like wealth and employment, education, physical and mental health, safety, recreation and leisure time.
Furthermore, standard of living is measurable using GDP per capita or other financial measures, whereas quality of life is a subjective and intangible measurement. In addition, standard of living is a standard measurement that does not change according to individual preferences while quality of life may vary according to individual preferences.
In conclusion, standard of living and quality of life are two closely related concepts. The main difference between standard of living and quality of life is that standard of living is a measure of wealth, income and material comfort available to a person or community whereas quality of life is a subjective measure that concerns the general well-being of individuals and societies.
