Quality of life social dimensions includes, “social and economic security”, “social solidarity”, “social integration”, “social empowerment”, and “social continuity”. Main objective of the article is to compare development plans of the country from the quality of life social dimensions’ view point. Content analysis method is used in the article taking into account the concept or notion analysis unit existing in the texts of the country’s (First to sixth) Economic, Social and Cultural Development Plan. Main findings of the research are: Social and economic security dimension has enjoyed the most presence in the Sixth Development Plan while it enjoyed lowest attention in the Second Development Plan. Social solidarity dimensionobtained the most attention in the Forth Development Plan and the least attention in the first and second plans (the presence of the dimension in the third to sixth plans was almost similar). Social empowerment dimension has rendered most presence in the Forth Development Plan and gained the least attention in the Second Development Plan than other plans (third to sixth plans provided more capacity for the dimension). Social continuity dimension has enjoyed more attention in the fifth and forth plans respectively while it gained the least attention in the first and second plans (the dimension played similar role in the third and sixth plans).
