农村人口的生活质量在农村发展政策中起着关键作用。从能力的方法开始，这项工作的目的是评估，同时分位数回归，通过分析农村人口的机会，生活质量的决定因素的异质性。这些机会被量化为医疗保健，教育，经济机会，环境条件，人类压力和地区的可达性的可用性。对能力的重视表明改变了以往的做法，即倾向于以能力作为衡量标准来评估福祉水平。结果表明，提供基本服务，特别是经常使用的服务，是保持农村地区适当生活质量的基本要素。
The quality of life in rural populations plays a key role in rural development policies. Starting from a capabilities approach, the aim of this work is to evaluate, with a simultaneous quantile regression, the heterogeneity of the determinants of quality of life by analyzing the opportunities addressed to rural populations. These opportunities are quantified as the availability of healthcare, education, economic opportunities, environmental conditions, human pressure, and the accessibility of the areas. The focus on capabilities represents a change from the prevailing setting, which tends to assess levels of well-being by functioning as a proxy of capabilities. The results show that the availability of basic services, especially those used frequently, are essential elements for maintaining adequate levels of quality of life in rural areas.
