The quality of life analysis of European Union (EU) member countries is carried out in this study by using CRITIC, CODAS and ROV methods, which are among the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. In the evaluation process of the quality of life of the countries, purchasing power index, climate index, cost of living index, safety index, health service index, property prices/income ratio, pollution index and time spent in traffic index criteria are used. The data is obtained from the website called Numbeo and they are November 2020 values. The CRITIC method has been used to determine the criteria weights and it is determined that the most important criterion of the quality of life assessment process is the cost of living index. The CODAS and ROV methods have preferred in the evaluation phase of the countries in terms of quality of life, and it is found out that the country with the highest quality of life is Denmark with both methods. This result is consistent with Denmark's minimum value of the cost of living index. Again, the results obtained with both methods indicate that the country with the lowest quality of life is Greece.
