Alleviating World Suffering The Challenge of Negative Quality of Life

Social Indicators Research Series Volume 67

Series Editor Alex C. Michalos, Faculty of Arts Office, Brandon University, Brandon, Manitoba, Canada Editors Ed Diener, University of Illinois, Champaign, USA Wolfgang Glatzer, J.W.

This series aims to provide a public forum for single treatises and collections of papers on social indicators research that are too long to be published in our journal Social Indicators Research. Like the journal, the book series deals with statistical assessments of the quality of life from a broad perspective. It welcomes the research on a wide variety of substantive areas, including health, crime, housing, education, family life, leisure activities, transportation, mobility, economics, work, religion and environmental issues. These areas of research will focus on the impact of key issues such as health on the overall quality of life and vice versa. An international review board, consisting of Ruut Veenhoven, Joachim Vogel, Ed Diener, Torbjorn Moum, Mirjam A.G. Sprangers and Wolfgang Glatzer, will ensure the high quality of the series as a whole. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/6548
