Different variables, including family life, job life, security and recreation, influence the quality of everyday life. QWL is an early concept with a wide notion. It is a word used in nearly every region of organizational activity – in the circles of academia, government, labor and management, and includes not only changes for staff in contemporary organizations, but also wider struggles within culture. The article's primary focus is on examining the impact of demographic characters such as age and gender on work life quality. 288 Data collection participants were used and their responses were analyzed using ANOVA and T-Test. Age and gender have been recognized to have a significant impact on the quality of work life.
