The Quality of Life (QOL)

After doing much research on the Quality of Life, I believe the link below best defines how it varies from individual to individual.

Here’s just one excerpt from the link:

WHAT IS QOL? QOL may be defined as subjective well-being. Recognizing the subjectivity of QOL is a key to understanding this construct. QOL reflects the difference, the gap, between the hopes and expectations of a person and their present experience. Human adaptation is such that life expectations are usually adjusted so as to lie within the realm of what the individual perceives to be possible. This enables people who have difficult life circumstances to maintain a reasonable QOL.

What will determine the QOL for individuals will be different year after year since factors in life will deviate often. So, how do we insure the QOL for all? What are some of the roadblocks and how do we clear them? Whose responsibility is it?
