In a groundbreaking exploration, this volume delves into the multifaceted nature of life in Korea, examining both the objective metrics and subjective perceptions that shape the everyday experiences of its people. The authors bring together diverse perspectives to assess not only economic and social dimensions but also the psychological and cultural factors that influence quality of life across various regions of Korea.
Through a comparative lens, the book highlights the dynamic shifts that have occurred over time, providing a comprehensive understanding of how historical events, government policies, and societal changes impact the lives of individuals. It becomes clear that quality of life in Korea is not a uniform concept but a complex interplay of various elements, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Korean society.
