Hello Andreas

I thought this paper might be relevant, but at the end - p.401, bottom of the first column - the authors conclude that it might be difficult to measure the QoL of  entrepreneurs.

This is available on ResearchGate - it is a large document but see 393-405.

I could not find anything else anywhere near what you are looking for, so will be interested to read further answers.

Very best wishes

Hello Andreas,

I have attached the McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MQOL), I have also referenced  a study of its validity and reliability. Note: This data tool has been used in various (medical) studies and applied widely across cultures.

How about Happiness Indices/Measures from the World Values Survey and the Gallup World Poll?

The WHO QOL-BREF is pretty short and simple and should provide ample normative comparisons depending on your purposes?  Good luck with your project!
