Understanding PQLI Indicators

The Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) was developed to measure the quality of life within a country. It focuses specifically on the physical well-being of the population.

PQLI Components

The PQLI consolidates the following three core indicators:

  • Infant mortality rate (Indicator 1)
  • Life expectancy at age one (Indicator 2)
  • Basic literacy rate (Indicator 4)

Exclusion of Per Capita Income

Per capita income (Indicator 3) is an economic indicator measuring average income per person. While important for overall development, it is not directly included in the PQLI calculation. Economic factors are typically measured by indices like the Human Development Index (HDI).

Conclusion

Based on the components of the PQLI, the correct indicators are Infant mortality (1), Life expectancy at age one (2), and Literacy (4). This matches option 3.
