Abstract

[To reflect on the population’s quality of life is always an exciting assignment, since such challenge includes all of us beyond the social role we play. It can be understood as a measure of achievement, determined by the scale of values prevailing in society. It is about developing social objective indicators in a given time and space, sustained in the theoretical analysis, and integrated into a coherent system of variables and dimensions. Our aim is to investigate the levels of quality of life of the urban population in Argentina between 2003 and 2012, a period called Post-convertibility in Argentina and marked by the implementation of a new model of accumulation with discrepant peculiarities with regard to the previous model of “convertibility” (1991–2001). For that purpose an index of quality of life is applied to cities where the Permanent Household Survey is run, consisting of the Education, Health Care, Work and Housing dimensions. Therefore, these are attempts to analyze what happened with the well-being of Argentine households over the past 10 years.]
