Advocating the creation of The Canada High Quality of Life Act., whereas quality of Life (QOL) is defined by the World Health Organization as "an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns". Standard indicators of the quality of life include wealth, employment, the environment, physical and mental health, education, recreation and leisure time, social belonging, religious beliefs, safety, security and freedom. Quality of Life (QOL) has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment. Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) is an evaluation of Quality of Life (QOL) and its relationship with health. Perhaps the most commonly used international measure of development is the Human Development Index (HDI), which combines measures of life expectancy, education, and standard of living, in an attempt to quantify the options available to individuals within a given society. The Human Development Index (HDI) is used by the United Nations Development Programme in their Human Development Report.
