Understanding PQLI Calculation Indicators

The Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) is a composite statistic used to measure development. It focuses specifically on the quality of life rather than just economic growth.

Core PQLI Components

The PQLI is calculated using the following three key indicators:

  • Life expectancy at age one: This measures the average number of years a person is expected to live after reaching their first birthday.
  • Infant mortality: This represents the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. A lower rate indicates better health conditions.
  • Literacy: This refers to the percentage of the population aged 15 and above who can read and write.

These indicators collectively provide a picture of the basic physical quality of life within a population, distinct from purely economic measures like income.
