Gender Dimensions of Quality of Life in Algeria

This chapter addresses Quality of Life (QOL) and gender issues in the North African country of Algeria, through selected objective and subjective indicators. The former encompass opportunities in education, health, employment, and participation in public life; the latter include survey data from 1,968 respondents on Subjective Wellbeing (SWB): (satisfaction with life, life domains, Pleasant Affect (PA), and unpleasant affect (UA)), collected in two regions: Oran, on the Mediterranean coast (Tell), and Adrar deep in the South (Sahara).
