1. Quality of life of people is a main reference point of development of a society, a specific compass of any transformations.
2. The politics directed at betterment of quality of life is considered as the long-term perspective, which is not restricted by time limits.
3. Reducing the quality of life problem only to its material consistuent is erroneous, because it covers all aspects of human life, including spiritual development of personality.
4. All groups of the population require quality of life betterment, but the goal is filled with the concrete content in accordance with status of the former.
5. Betterment of quality of human life means creation of conditions for the highest possible human needs satisfaction during the given concrete moment.
6. The authority should precisely represent these needs, not hinder those who is capable to resolve their problems and help those who cannot satisfy the requirements because of objective circumstances.
7. Improvement of quality of life of population is connected with
• maintenance of human rights on life and its protection;
