| Abstract | ||
| Currently, there is no broad agreement on what constitutes quality of life. However, there are various characterizations of this concept based on the perceptions of the individual. In social work practice, quality of life indicators are helpful for assessing social, economic, and environmental conditions that affect the client’s well being. This paper will discuss various models used for evaluating quality of life. Awareness of quality of life indicators - such as education, employment, environment, health, income, shelter, and safety - will prepare the social worker to meet the challenges encountered daily by clients. Recommendations and implications for creating a better or higher quality of life, as well as considering the client’s value system, will be addressed. | ||
