“…This association is observed in more countries -and the size of the effect tends to be larger-when SES is measured in terms of material well-being (home possessions) rather than a composite index of SES (ESCS index). The latter is in line with findings from previous research suggesting on children's SWB suggesting that how we measure SES matters (Gross-Manos, 2017;Knies, 2012;Lau & Bradshaw, 2018;Main, 2014;Rees et al, 2011;Sarriera et al, 2014;Zaborskis et al, 2019). This also indicates that material well-being is an important factor influencing adolescents' LS.…”

“…Furthermore, research shows that how we measure SES matters. In particular, in the case of children and the body of research studying the association between SES and child SWB, studies using measures of material deprivation instead of measures of family income have been more successful at finding evidence of this association (Gross-Manos, 2017;Knies, 2012;Main, 2014;Rees, Pople, & Goswami, 2011;Sarriera et al, 2014;Zaborskis, Ilionsky, Tesler, & Heinz, 2019). Likewise, evidence of this association is even more robust when child-derived measures of material well-being reveal -rather than adult-derived measures-are used (Lau & Bradshaw, 2018;Main, 2014).…”

Research shows that school is one of the most important life domains shaping adolescents' life satisfaction (LS) and this influence varies across countries and different groups of students (e.g. by gender). However, there is a lack of cross-country comparative research studying the links between school and students' LS and how this differs across socioeconomic status (SES). This study explores this question using multilevel regression to analyse data from the 2015 Programme for International Students Assessment study on 15-year-old students in 33 countries. Two measures of SES were considered: material wellbeing and a composite SES measure. Results indicate that 1) in some countries, distinct school-related factors may shape students' LS differently for students of higher and lower SES, 2) although there are some general patterns across countries for some school factors (bullying, academic competence, and parents' support in relation to school are more strongly associated with LS among students of lower SES), for most school factors, the picture is mixed, and 3) in around half of the countries, schools seem to moderate the association between SES and students' LS. Research and policy implications are discussed.

“…The Children's Worlds project aimed to measure material well-being from children's perspectives and suggested three categories to measure material well-being: (1) a set of questions to measure family economic status; (2) a set of questions to measure the child's access to items (material deprivation); and (3) several questions about children's subjective material well-being. The validity of these measures was tested across representative samples of 15 countries in the second wave of the Children's Worlds survey (Dinisman & Ben-Arieh, 2016;Goswami, 2014;Gross-Manos, 2017;Gross-Manos & Ben-Arieh, 2017;Main et al, 2019). Results in children showed weak association between subjective well-being (SWB) and socioeconomic status level (Main et al, 2019).…”

“…Sebuah proyek dari Children's Worlds bertujuan mengukur kesejahteraan materi dari perspektif anak-anak, dengan menggunakan tiga kategori pengukuran kesejahteraan materi: (1) satu set pertanyaan untuk mengukur status ekonomi keluarga; (2) satu set pertanyaan untuk mengukur akses anak-anak terhadap hal-hal yang bersifat material (kekurangan materi); dan (3) beberapa pertanyaan mengenai kesejahteraan material subjektif anak. Validitas alat ukur tersebut diuji terhadap sampel representatif dari 15 negara pada survei Children's Worlds gelombang kedua (Dinisman & Ben-Arieh, 2016;Goswami, 2014;Gross-Manos, 2017;Gross-Manos & Ben-Arieh, 2017;Main et al, 2019). Hasil pada anak-anak menunjukkan asosiasi yang lemah antara kesejahteraan subjektif dan tingkatan status sosial ekonomi (Main et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to explain the subjective well-being of Indonesian children in terms of material well-being. Indonesia is still considered a developing country, and several studies reveal the correlation between economic status and subjective well-being of adults. However, only a very limited number of studies focus on Indonesian children’s material well-being from their own perspective. This study used data from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds survey conducted in Indonesia. The sample (N = 14,576; 49.35% boys; 50.65% girls) was composed of children aged 10 years and 12 years. Subjective well-being (SWB) was measured using the Children’s Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale (CW-SWBS) and a single-item Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS) scale. Material well-being was measured using family economic status, material deprivation, frequency of being worried about family’s money situation, and frequency of having enough food to eat each day. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Cummins’ theory of subjective well-being (SWB) was used to explain the results. Results showed that children from families with high economic status who reported no material deprivation, never worrying about the family’s money, and always having enough food to eat each day displayed higher subjective well-being (SWB) mean scores on both subjective well-being (SWB) scales compared to children in families from middle and lower economic status. However, children from middle and lower economic status showed rather high subjective well-being (SWB) scores, suggesting that children are able to maintain positive feelings about themselves and their level of subjective well-being (SWB) despite belonging to a less fortunate economic situation. These results will hopefully encourage Indonesian scholars and researchers to elaborate deeper in future studies. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan kesejahteraan subjektif (subjective well-being; SWB) anak Indonesia terkait kesejahteraan materi. Indonesia masih dikategorikan sebagai negara berkembang, dan beberapa penelitian terdahulu mengungkapkan korelasi antara status ekonomi dan kesejahteraan subjektif orang dewasa. Namun, studi yang memfokuskan pada kesejahteraan materi anak Indonesia dari perspektif mereka sendiri masih sangat terbatas. Studi ini menggunakan data dari survei Children’s Worlds gelombang ketiga yang dilakukan di Indonesia. Sampel penelitian terdiri dari anak-anak usia 10 tahun dan 12 tahun (N = 14.576; 49,35% laki-laki; 50,65% perempuan). Kesejahteraan subjektif diukur dengan menggunakan dua skala: Children’s Worlds Subjective Well-Being Scale (CW-SWBS) dan Overall Life Satisfaction (OLS) dengan butir pertanyaan tunggal. Kesejahteraan materi diukur berdasarkan dimensi status ekonomi keluarga, kekurangan materi, frekuensi kekhawatiran tentang situasi keuangan keluarga, dan frekuensi ketersediaan makanan untuk dikonsumsi setiap hari. Data kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistik deskriptif. Teori Cummins tentang kesejahteraan subjektif digunakan untuk menjelaskan temuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa anak-anak dari keluarga dengan status ekonomi tinggi yang tidak melaporkan kekurangan materi, tidak pernah khawatir tentang keuangan keluarga, dan selalu memiliki cukup makanan untuk dikonsumsi setiap hari menunjukkan skor rata-rata kesejahteraan subjektif yang lebih tinggi pada dua skala kesejahteraan subjektif dibandingkan anak-anak dari keluarga dengan status ekonomi menengah dan rendah. Namun, anak-anak dari status ekonomi menengah dan rendah menunjukkan skor kesejahteraan subjektif yang relatif tinggi, yang mengungkapkan bahwa anak-anak dapat menjaga perasaan positif tentang diri mereka sendiri dan tingkat kesejahteraan subjektifnya meskipun tergolong ke dalam status ekonomi yang kurang mapan. Hasil penelitian diharapkan dapat mendorong para ilmwuan dan peneliti di Indonesia untuk lebih mendalami fenomena ini pada studi-studi selanjutnya.

“…Regarding children well-being, the same principle applies and the relationship between children well-being and GDP only holds up to a fairly low level. It should be noted that richer countries gains in GDP are not accompanied by relevant gains in children well-being (Gross-Manos, 2017).…”

This work aims to understand the situation of children within a particular territory and assess the different dimensions of this scenario. To this end we develop a multidimensional indicator to synthesize the most relevant dimensions and indicators around the world at a country level. Our results not only identify the aspects exerting the greatest impact on infant well-being, but also provide a full international comparison. The ranking obtained allows us to compare among countries, thus highlighting differences in the transformation of wealth into infant well-being. Moreover, incorporating gender into the analysis provides a new and relevant perspective.
