The book is presented as an Atlas where the map plays a fundamental role in the study of quality of life as it shows its progression in Argentina from the 19th to the 21st Century. In the book, it can be observed how the concept has evolved along with the dimensions and variables that better represent its spatial distribution. This is one of the original points of the book: the temporal study of the living conditions of the argentine population, empirically and spatially, emphasizing their territorial representation.

Although the book maintains the same socioeconomic dimensions (education, health and housing), the tour through the different chapters offers a historical window that allows the reader to know what the forms of information collection were like in different historical moments.

This book is written for geographers and members of the scientific community interested in the study of the well-being of the population. It also allows us to observe the evolutionof the quality of life from the 19th century to the 21st, so it may be of interest to historians as well.
