Based on the current information available, there is no solid research that would combine quality of life with economic performance and corporate business, so in our paper we have identified the most commonly used factors of quality of life and categorized them according to their background. Quality of life is a responsibility of the individuals and the society, thus we should investigate them at both levels. Moreover, we presumed that the weight of these factors are changing from time to time, and that change goes along with the effect of the governance on economy what is driven by the evolution of the different state theories applied. During the drawing up of the research plan we have faced the problem of defining such sectors in a region, which generates the greatest positive effects on well-being, and it is really hard to describe what really the enhancement of the quality of life is. In our research we were also curious if there are any models that diagnose what is good for the people in a region from economic and non-economic point of view. In order to get proper knowledge on that field we tried to define and separate the categories of quality of life, well-being and welfare and also to show their embeddedness and relations to each other. In our research we have made a comprehensive overview on the literature about wellbeing, welfare, quality of life, and in addition to the static description we think it is important to investigate the underlying factors of quality of life and also to have a view on the differences of developed and emerging countries. The target area of our research is the regions of Europe, with special focus on the European Union.
