Quality of Life in Asia

Nurdinova, Shoirakhon

This book offers the first comprehensive examination of life satisfaction and happiness in Central Asia from an empirical and comparative perspective. Drawing on econometric models, it reveals how economic conditions, gender, culture, and social norms shape subjective well-being in  Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The findings provide insights into the complex structure of quality of life in a region that has received little attention in happiness research. As such, the book makes a pioneering contribution to the study of well-being in Central Asia and serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and researchers interested in happiness-oriented development and the determinants of well-being worldwide.
