As a goal as compared

A. Graves and Jenkins report that Canadians place considerably greater emphasis on quality of life as a goal as compared with a high standard of living when these are traded off.

1) In sentence A, what is compared with a high standard of living?

Is "quality of life" compared with a high standard of living ? or is "a goal" compared with a high standard of living?

2) If "quality of life" is compared with a high standard of living, should I analyze this part "quality of life as a goal as compared with" as "[quality of life as a goal] as compared with" ? It looks like "as compared with" modifies "qualify of life".

3) Is sentence A correct English?

My answer is that it is "quality of life" that is compared with "a high standard of living", and sentence A is correct English.
