Cristina Popescu, Marius Popescu, Ecaterina Isac, Ioan Csosz

Abstract


The concept of "quality of life" has emerged and developed as a critical reaction to the way of appreciation of human needs. the field of quality of life can be defined by all the elements that refer to the physical, economic, social, cultural, political, health, etc. situation in which people live.The analysis model presented in this paper outlines four dimensions without exhausting the complex field of the quality of life indicators. The points of reference will be, first of all, the quality of personal life, the private sphere of the individual; secondly the quality of the society as is perceived by the people; the third the relationship of the individual with the society and the last satisfaction/dissatisfaction with life. Over the last 10 years a European system of indicators of quality of life has been developed. Thus, each country can be evaluated in relation to the other European countries, the most desirable seasons in the world being highlighted in the paper. In relation to these, as a general assessment, we can say that the quality of life in Romania is modest.
