Standard of living

Standard of living is the level of income, comforts and services available to an individual, community or society.

However, the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report found that literature demonstrates that improvements in sustainable development practices as well as changes in technological efficiency and energy production and use, allow for a Decent Living Standard for all people without fossil fuels and ~15.3 GJ per capita by the end of the 21st century.

[4] Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of him/herself and of his/her family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary Social services, and the right to social secuirity in the event of unemployement, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his/her control.

[2] The decent living standard revolves around the idea and principle that a majority of the population demand the basics that will allow them to have shelter, food and water; however it[clarification needed] is not always able to be maintained for a long period of time.

Examples are access to certain goods (such as the number of refrigerators per 1000 people), or measurement of health such as life expectancy.
