Q. PQLI is based on
A. Infant mortality, life expectency and adult literacy rate
B. Crime Rate, Clean Environment and quality of housing
C. Air pollutin, water pollution and sanitation conditions
D. Health, education and environment
Answer: Infant mortality, life expectency and adult literacy rate
The Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI) is an attempt to measure the quality of life or well-being of a country. The value is the average of three statistics: basic literacy rate, infant mortality, and life expectancy at age one, all equally weighted on a 0 to 100 scale.
The UN Human Development Index is a more widely used means of measuring well-being.
Steps to Calculate Physical Quality of Life:
1) Find percentage of the population that is literate (literacy rate).
2) Find the infant mortality rate. (out of 1000 births) INDEXED Infant Mortality Rate = (166 - infant mortality) × 0.625
3) Find the Life Expectancy. INDEXED Life Expectancy = (Life expectancy - 42) × 2.7
4) Physical Quality of Life = (Literacy Rate + INDEXED Infant Mortality Rate + INDEXED Life Expectancy) /3

At the behest of the Overseas Development Council, Morris David Morris created the physical quality of life index (PQLI), which assessed conditions in a country from its infant mortality rate, adult literacy rate, and life expectancy at age one (Morris 1979). Nearly all countries routinely reported these data by the 1970s.
