Abstract

This study aims to highlight the pivotal role of quality of life in supporting the path to sustainable development, by comparing the experiences of Qatar and Algeria. The results of the analysis showed that achieving effective sustainable development requires an integrated trilogy: balanced economic growth, comprehensive social justice, and sound environmental management. While Qatar offers a successful model in linking quality of life to development requirements, Algeria's experience reveals the need for profound structural reforms to achieve this development equation. Hence, the lessons learned from both experiences are important for policymakers in developing economies seeking to promote sustainable human development. The study recommends that quality of life be given a central position in economic and social policies, given its prominent role in promoting sustainability. Quantitative economic growth alone is no longer sufficient; it must be coupled with tangible improvements in indicators of comprehensive human well-being.
