For readers who intend to read this volume without reading the
first, some in troductory remarks are in order about the scope of
the work and the strategy used in all five volumes to measure the
qUality of life. In the frrst chapter of Volume I, I reviewed the
relevant recent literature on social indicators and so cial
reporting, and explained all the general difficulties involved in
such work. It would be redundant to repeat that discussion here,
but there are some fundamental points that are worth mentioning.
Readers who fmd this account too brief should consult the longer
discussion. The basic question that will be answered in this work
is this: Is there a difference in the quality of life in Canada and
the United States of America, and if so, in which country is it
better? Alternatively, one could put the question thus: If one
individual were randomly selected out of Canada and another out of
the United States, would there be important qualitative
differences, and if so, which one would probably be better off? To
simplify matters, I often use the terms 'Canadian' and 'American'
as abbreviations for 'a randomly selected resident' of Canada or
the United States, respec tively."
