Abstract
The concept of quality of life for children is presented and then formulated from data in the Irish censuses of 1841, 1851, and 1861. Seven to eleven variables for the three years were identified in the domains demography, education, and housing.
The unit of geographical analysis is each of Ireland's thirty two counties. For each county an overall index of quality of life (QUALIC) plus three sub-indexes is presented. Changes across the two decades, 1841–1861, in the regression-weighted index numbers are presented and discussed.
