Summary "This volume is the first book to cover research in Chinese, Western and global contexts in a single volume. It is a ground-breaking volume in which Chinese studies on the quality of life are collected. The book includes papers addressing family QOL, quality of life in adolescents experiencing economic disadvantage, and methodological issues in the assessment of QOL. It is written by researchers working in a variety of disciplines." "This book is an important reference for academics, researchers and students who are interested in the recent advances in QOL research and who are working in such disciplines as economics, education, geography, communication, occupational therapy, medicine, political science, psychology, sociology, statistics, and town planning."--Jacket
