This study compared capitalist and socialist countries
in measures of the physical quality of life (PQL), taking into account
the level of economic development. The World Bank was the
principal source of statistical data for 123 countries (97 per cent of the
world's population). PQL variables included:
1) indicators of health, health services, and nutrition (infant mortality rate, child death rate,
life expectancy, population per physician, population per nursing
person, and daily per capita calorie supply);
2) measures of education (adult literacy rate, enrollment in secondary education, and enrollment
in higher education); and
3) a composite PQL index.
Capitalist countries fell across the entire range of economic development
(measured by gross national product per capita), while the socialist
countries appeared at the low-income, lower-middle-income, and
upper-middle-income levels. All PQL measures improved as economic
development increased. In 28 of 30 comparisons between
countries at similar levels of economic development, socialist countries
showed more favorable PQL outcomes. (Am J Public Health 1986; 76:661-666.)
