The quality of life people have in a country is quite telling of how well the administration of the country functions and hence the status of that country on a world level.
There are many factors that dictate how good the quality of life is for the people. In this blog we shall be discussing three most important ones of those factors, in what way they affect the quality of life, how they have been improved upon in certain countries and how ignorance related to them in some countries has led to problems. Countries like the US, China and Saudi Arabia will be used as examples.

Absence of these resources would result only in resentment from the common people and proven the failure of the elected administration to serve its people which happens to be the case in most of the developing countries.

Affordability of education
A factor that directly effects employment is the literacy rate of a country. Which is in turn effected by availability and quality of institutes education.
