Avoid Explanation: I suppose linguistically they could be used interchangeably, but in practice they have gained rather specific connotations, and are likely to feel out of place if used outside of their typical usage scenarios. Quality of life is typically used in a health & well-being context, and is associated with how the subject feels. Standard of living is typically used in an economic context, and is associated with the subject's environment. I'm sure they are used outside of these contexts, but the use of 'quality of life' in healthcare and 'standard of living' in an economic sense is so pervasive that I actually have a hard time thinking of other scenarios. In fact, the Wikipedia article of "Standard of Living" discusses its relation with quality of life. The article isn't great in terms of sources, but the logic holds up. They can be related, but they are not synonymous. |
