“…This study has broadened the previous literatures on both research content and methodology. There have been many quantitative studies focusing on the impacts of energy poverty on health condition [8,57], but studies about the correlation among energy poverty, learning behavior, and individual development have been limited to the qualitative perspective [64]. This study has developed an integrative framework about energy poverty's negative impacts, and is the first to explore the relationship between energy poverty and individual development from a quantitative perspective.…”

Energy poverty has negative impacts on the residents' life from various aspects. A comprehensive understanding of these impacts is the top priority in energy poverty governance. Previous qualitative studies have shown that energy poverty has the potential to negatively impact the individual development of residents through multiple pathways. However, few scholars have explored this issue from a quantitative perspective. To fill the gaps in existing research, this study aims to examine the impact of energy poverty on individual development and explore the serial mediating effects of learning behavior and health condition in the relationship. A total of 2289 valid samples are obtained from the dataset of Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS). SPSS 26.0 and PROCESS 3.5 are used to conduct serial mediating effects analysis. The results show that energy poverty can significantly negatively impact the individual development of residents. Learning behavior and health condition are found to independently or serially mediate the relationship between energy poverty and individual development. Health condition has the stronger mediating effect, whereas the mediating effect of learning behavior is weaker. This study may contribute to a better understanding of the consequences of energy poverty in government and academia.

“…The concept of energy poverty emerged during the oil crisis in the 1970s [8]. In 1991, Boardman proposed that families were in energy poverty if they had to spend more than 10% of their income to get necessary modern energy services [9].…”

“…More specifically, fuel poverty seems to focus more on issues related to low energy affordability, while energy poverty is a broader term that captures all the problems related to inadequate energy access [15,16]. Based on this, fuel poverty is related to the interactions between energy prices, low levels of income, and energy inefficiency of households [17]. Despite the distinctions, many scientists in the literature use the two terms to describe the same thing; based on this, in this paper, we consider the two terms as synonyms as well.…”

Energy is required for socioeconomic development, and the world’s energy needs have significantly increased in the last decades. The lack of energy can have severe impacts on a person’s well-being; therefore, energy access should be ensured for everyone in the world. Energy poverty usually refers to a situation where a household cannot be kept adequately warm, but it is a complex issue with many more aspects. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of the energy poverty problem, particularly presenting various definitions given in the literature that capture the multi-dimensional nature of the problem and analyzing the different ways of measuring energy poverty (expenditure approach and consensual approach). In addition, the impacts of the problem are identified, including health, socioeconomic, and environmental impacts, as well as the drivers that can worsen energy poverty conditions, such as several household characteristics and various socioeconomic and environmental factors. The situation occurring currently in the world is also presented, including studies that focus on different world regions, and the different solutions that can help address the problem are discussed, including changes to the living environments and the use of new technologies.

“…Depending on the development of the country, the concept varies. The comprehension about the problem in developing countries focuses on energy access, while in developed countries it is associated with a big share of the households' income spent on energy [1]. A modern concept of energy poverty was proposed by the United Nations [2], which describes energy poverty as the inability to acquire a necessary amount of reliable and high-quality energy that is not only affordable, but also environmentally friendly and safe.…”

Both developed and developing countries face energy poverty issues today. The growing interest over the last few years at the scientific level demonstrates the importance of the problem. It was a practice for many years to measure energy poverty by calculating the economic single indicators. In recent years, this practice was increasingly criticized and new, more comprehensive indices were developed. Review and analysis of indices developed can help scholars to dig deep into the specific aspects of the problem. The paper aims to review the indices for energy poverty assessment from households’ perspectives and to provide the main insights into the indicators selection process by providing the set of indicators for sustainable energy poverty assessment. The literature search and analysis follows the SALSA (Search, Appraisal, Synthesis and Analysis) and the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodologies. The literature search was carried out in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. The search covered the period 1994–2020. Thirty-four developed indexes for energy poverty were identified for assessment. In order to measure the most important dimensions and to reflect the modern concept of the energy poverty, the paper proposes a set of indicators for sustainable energy poverty assessment.
