Subjective Well-Being in Indonesia: Evidence of Rural-Urban Differences in Life Satisfaction
(2019) EKHS42 20191Department of Economic History
- Abstract (Swedish)
- This thesis uses data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey to assess to test for differences in life satisfaction between rural and urban inhabitants. Individual level data including various demographic and socio-economic variables is used to test for the relationship. Results suggest that life satisfaction in urban Indonesian areas is higher than that in rural regions. Furthermore, satisfaction in multiple satisfaction domains is tested as a predictor of overall life satisfaction. The results confirm this notion. However, differences in the effect of satisfaction domains on life satisfaction does not differ significantly between rural and urban dwellers.
