“…Studies in psychology have found a positive correlation between economic well-being/income and subjective well-being (Diener et al, 1993;Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002). However, later study by several researchers (Rojas, 2008;Fuentes & Rojas, 2001, p.2) found that this positive relationship is weak. This is because people view their satisfaction not only by their own standard of living but also on how far better they are than their society (Fafchamps & Shilpi, 2008) or with themselves in the past (Kingdon & Knight, 2006).…”

“…If household income falls below a specific income level ymin, which is called the poverty line, then the household is called poor (Van Praag & Ferrer-i-Cabonell, 2006). According to Rojas (2008), a household is in income poverty if their household income is beneath a pre-determined income line.…”

“…Therefore, it is commonly accepted, a poor person is one whose well-being is low (Rojas, 2008). Studies in psychology have found a positive correlation between economic well-being/income and subjective well-being (Diener et al, 1993;Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2002).…”

“…Studies conducted on well-being in explaining poverty, found that a low income level does not necessarily indicated lack of well-being (ill-being), nor did high income levels necessarily indicated high well-being (non-ill-being) levels (Rojas, 2008). Rojas (2008) carried out a study in Mexico, found that 11.5% were income poor while being non-poor in experience poverty (life satisfaction assessment).…”

The paper aims to examine the income poverty status and compare it with the well-being level between different groups among vulnerable households. Vulnerable households for this study were households that consists at least one of the following criteria: income poor, elderly person, single mothers and/or disabled person. Data was taken from the Official Poverty Line Survey conducted in four Malaysian cities representing each region in Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 286 households were conveniently selected. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, correlation tests were applied in data analysis. Findings indicated significant differences in household percapita income (HHPCI) among income poverty status groups and significant differences in well-being among different status of income poverty, whereby the non-poor had the highest mean in both (HHPCI & well-being). Also the mean well-being for poor and potential poor groups were much lower than the hardcore poor group. Further results revealed a positive but small relationship between household percapita income and well-being among vulnerable households. Finally, the findings indicated significant differences between income poor status groups and different level in well-being poor groups. It was possible for people to get out of income poverty while remaining in well-being deprivation (ill-being). Findings from this study provide evidences and enhance understanding in income poverty, well-being and correlates of both especially among vulnerable households.

People living homeless are quite heterogeneous groups, including different subgroups with specific characteristics that vary substantially. Within this group, women living homeless are an understudied subgroup with specific necessities which in most cases have not been addressed in general studies related to the group. The present study examines determining factors that influence the levels of overall happiness and outlook for the future of women living homeless. To fulfill this objective, a survey was conducted on a group of women living homeless in the city of Madrid (Spain). The results of a structural equation modeling analysis found that having a larger and stable social support network, loneliness, and good health conditions without any problems associated with drug abuse are the main factors influencing their levels of overall happiness and their outlook for the future. The proposed model has also shown that stressful life events play an important role in the analysis, unlike economic aspects, which have a limited impact on their situation. This article provides new information and innovation in research about homelessness, in particular women living homeless, thus being important for extending and replicating its findings to an international context.

Using a nationally representative household survey data collected from Ghana, this paper investigates the relationship between financial inclusion and household well-being.The paper computes a comprehensive index for financial inclusion incorporating all its dimensions: availability, accessibility, usage and quality. Our econometric analyses employ both discrete and continuous models to produce robust results. The main result indicates that there are significant welfare gains from increased financial inclusion irrespective of its measure and control for endogeneity. The results also suggest that enhanced financial inclusion increases the likelihood of improving food consumption, medical treatment, cash income and school attendance outcomes. Thus, there is a clear policy implication: increasing financial inclusion will significantly contribute to the attainment of some key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
