Happiness and health are commonly used well-being indicators, and studies have shown that engaging in voluntary work and charity is associated with increased well-being. However, few studies have analysed the association between volunteering or charity and well-being using nationally representative data from two adult generations. Utilising the Generational Transmissions in Finland surveys collected in 2012, we examined whether volunteering and charity were associated with self-perceived happiness and health in older (born 1945–1950) and younger (born 1962–1993) generations. We found that older adults who engaged in voluntary work were happier than those who did not. Further, younger adults who had made donations to charity were found to be happier than those who had not. With both older and younger generations, we found no correlations between volunteering or charity and self-perceived health. Results are discussed in the light of different life course phases older and younger generations are going through.

“…However, there does not appear to have been any research in which an increased appreciation or understanding of life, death, and existential issues in volunteers has been reported (Dulin et al, 2012;Greenfield & Marks, 2004;Hao, 2008;Pilkington et al, 2012;Thoits & Hewitt, 2001;van Willigen, 2000;Windsor et al, 2008). However, the experiences of volunteers are often not considered in research on biography services.…”

“…» Amplia cantidad de estudios, demuestran que aquellos que dedican tiempo para beneficiar a otras personas tienden a ser más felices. Por ejemplo, existe evidencia que respalda la relación entre realizar actividades de voluntariado y el bienestar subjetivo (Windsor, et al, 2008;Dulin, et al, 2012;Taghian, et al, 2012). Lo anterior aplica a todas las edades (Matsushima & Matsunaga, 2015;Binder & Blankenberg, 2016).…”

El objetivo del presente artículo es ampliar el conocimiento respecto a la medición, el muestreo y las estadísticas relacionadas con el concepto de bienestar subjetivo. Como metodología de investigación, se realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre el bienestar subjetivo, y se observa que la variable de acceso al agua potable ha sido escasamente estudiada como un factor asociado, para lo cual, se genera un modelo econométrico con datos de 131 países de 2014, donde la variable dependiente es el bienestar subjetivo desde el enfoque de contentamiento y las variables explicativas son el empleo, como variable de control, y el acceso al agua potable. Los resultados obtenidos de la investigación, muestran un coeficiente de correlación, que indica que el 59% de los cambios en el bienestar subjetivo son explicados por los cambios en el acceso al agua potable y por el empleo, con una elasticidad del bienestar subjetivo con respecto al acceso al agua potable de 0.45, y con relación al empleo de 1.12; lo cual, tiene un impacto significativo en el bienestar subjetivo o felicidad de cada individuo a nivel mundial para aumentar su calidad de vida y el bienestar de la sociedad.
