Penggunaan model berstruktur linear dalam pembinaan indeks kualiti hidup di Malaysia.

Abstract

Linear structural relation or LISREL has been adopted to check the relationship between observable variables and latent variables, which reflect to the quality of life. The formation of measurement model and structural model has been able to explain the relation between observable variable and latent variables and between latent variables and latent variables. As many as 15 variables which represent three factors have been taken into consideration in the measurement of quality of life (QOL) index, i.e. socioeconomic factor, demography structure factor and family size formation factor. An example of index measurement has been presented and lastly the QOL index based on three factors is listed according to district and state. It has been found that 59.5\% of the districts in Peninsular are below the minimum level, whereas the Federal Territory is at the highest index and Kedah records the lowest index.
