Gender Equality and Quality of Life

Year: 2016

Type: book

Abstract: This chapter concentrates on two major fields listed in its title: the notion of well-being and striving for gender equality. Due to the complexity and diversity of current approaches, both of them are shown in the light of different theories, which to some extent I try to reflect here. Additionally, I summarise the existing indexes of well-being and gender and juxtapose them in tables. This operation enables the readers to have a clear picture of focus areas and development trends of these measures, followed by the message they convey. A critical reflection on the presented models and the final discussion might help in the future work on quality of life and gender equality issues, their measurement and interpretations.
