About the product

With more than a billion people living on less than one dollar per day, human well-being is a core issue for both researchers and policy-makers. This book examines advances in underlying well-being, poverty, and inequality concepts and corresponding empirical applications and case studies. The authors examine traditional monetary concepts and measurements, and non-monetary factors including educational achievement, longevity, health, and subjective well-being.
