Abstract |
Understanding factors which affect the level of family well-being is important as it contributes to effective decision making among the policymakers to improve the family lives as well as to strengthen the family institution. This study develops an ordinal regression model which identifies demographic, economic and social factors that are significant in explaining the status of family well-being. |
