“…People who live in urban areas, especially in urban areas, are always correlated with the level of happiness and life satisfaction. The happiness index, which is usually measured by other studies, is mostly focused on the environment (Kešeljević and Spruk, 2013) [11]. This study, complements the existing research, with the different units studied, that in this study looks at happiness based on the perspective of each family member, and the focus of the research is on gender and ecology.…”

Adequate housing areas are difficult to find, especially in urban areas. At present, slums are an option for families to live and settle on the grounds of the lack of availability of a proper environment. There have been a lot of studies on the environment and happiness, but those that refer to happiness based on family units, and gender, are still few. This study is a joint study, with the aim of analyzing the influence of the environment in slums on the happiness of families who live in the area. This research involved 30 families, and differentiated happiness according to sex, which was based on the perspective of the father, mother, and children of one family. This research was conducted in the East Pisangan area, East Jakarta. Sources of research data sourced from primary data and secondary data. Primary data were obtained through the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire filled out by respondents based on their own reports, while secondary data came from interviews and observations. The results of the study stated that: (a) The environment affects the happiness of family slums, (b) Communities in slums have quite high happiness conditions, and (c) there are differences in happiness between men and women in slums.

“…In fact, economic freedom is a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing different components of economic life that can have diverging effects and that, according to the main indices of economic freedom, can be summarised in five components: size of government, protection of property rights, monetary stability, freedom to trade internationally, and regulation. The impact of these components on health outcomes is currently understudied, although past research in various fields has provided evidence that they may have different effects on the same outcome, as in the case of economic growth (Carlsson and Lundström, 2002;Kešeljevič and Spruk, 2013;Saccone and Migheli, 2022), corruption (Goel and Nelson, 2005;Pieroni and d'Agostino, 2013) and risk of obesity in the OECD countries (Bleich et al, 2008). In light of the above considerations, it clearly emerges the need for more analytical studies that estimate the different relations existing between the various components of economic freedom, used as a proxy for liberalism, and the health effects of contemporary widespread diseases in a wide sample of countries.…”

This study investigated the relationship between economic growth and economic freedom. Fourty two countries were covered for the period 1996-2017. The dependent variable is the real GDP per capita and the independent variables are; the index of economic freedom, real fixed capital formation, real government spending and average number of hours worked. The sources of data is the World Bank Group (WBG) and the Center for Growth and Development (GGDC). The sample of 42 countries was divided into two groups, based on the score of the country on the index of economic freedom for 2017. While the economic freedom index, which ranges from 100 to 70, has 13 countries. The second group having 69.9 to 50 points, consisted of 29 countries. The data was subjected to cross sectional panel analysis; the unit root indicated that all variables in the two groups were stable at the level, and The Pedroni Residual Co-integration Test showed that there was no co-integration between the variables. The normal least squares method was applied for each group of countries. The results of the analysis showed that the fixed effects model (Fixed Effect) was the appropriate model for data analysis. The study showed that there was a positive and statistically significant relationship between the economic freedom index and the real GDP per capita. In addition, the relationship was positive and statistically significant between real GDP per capita, and both fixed capital formation and government expenditure. The study recommended that more attention should be directed to the factors that have an impact on economic freedom, as these factors might have a positive impact on economic growth.
