Using panel data of selected countries from 1975 to 2005, and applying the dynamic panel data model, this study found that human quality of life (QOL) indicators of most countries in the region are moving closer to that of Japan (the benchmark country in this study) and that globalization has significant impacts on this convergence. To complement these findings, we call for a study of some country cases, as well as a study of the impact of globalization on human QOL inequality within countries.
