| Abstract: | This is an abridged version of a paper written for the Unesco, Paris, to explore the feasibility of studying in India the role of value systems and life goals in quality of life, with reference to social structural variations and the prevailing socioeconomic conditions. Time and money constraints did not permit the examination of Indian society in its structural and cultural diversity. The focus was on the indication of possibilities of variation in the subject matter and how to elicit such variations. Moreover, in its abridged form, the paper deals essentially with the methodology of studying the quality of life in any society instead of substantial findings. |
