Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to quantify disparities in Subjective Well-being (SWB) using data from a nationally representative survey of Colombia fromÂ 2011 (n=2988). After controlling for socio-demographic and regional characteristics, results showed thatÂ higher educational attainmentÂ and higher household income were positively associated with higher SWB. Unemployed subjects reported lower SWB relative to those working in the formal or in the informal sector.
