Definition

  • STANDARD OF LIVING refers to the overall or aggregate wealth of an individual or a representative member of a larger community. Initially viewed in purely monetary terms, the concept is now considered to be more appropriately treated in broader terms, including subjective measures of well-being and opportunity.
