| Abstract |
Family is the foundation of a prosperous society. The well-being of the family institution is a key element in the development of a nation. Therefore, the family perspective must always be prioritised to ensure that this institution remains prosperous and continues to contribute to the country’s socio-economic development. Family well-being encompasses various dimensions that influence the harmony of a family’s life. The Family Well-Being Index 2022 (FWBI 2022) serves as an objective and scientific benchmark for monitoring the level of family well-being in Malaysia.
With a recorded score of 7.93 on a maximum scale of 10.00, FWBI 2022 indicates a moderate level of family well-being. The FWBI 2022 score shows an increase of 0.21 points (2.7%) from the FWBI 2019 score. This increase in the score was contributed by five domains that recorded scores above 8.00, namely (i) Family Relationship Domain, (ii) Family, Role of Religion, and Spiritual Practices Domain, (iii) Family and Community Involvement Domain, (iv) Family and Communication Technology Domain, and (v) Family Health Domain. |
