Abstract

The study examines the relationship between deprivation, that is, lack of resources and well-being and their impact on self-reported physical and mental health outcomes. Data collected through a set of structured questionnaire administered on a sample of 415 was analysed by descriptive statistics and logit estimation technique. Econometric model reveals that greater feelings of deprivation and poor subjective well-being are associated with poor self-reported physical and mental health. Further, the results show that the history regarding deprivation impacts more on physical and mental health than other-regarding form of deprivation. It was also revealed that both the history-regarding and other-regarding forms of deprivation impact on health via subjective well-being. Policies that will increase employment opportunities and earning capacity of individuals will impact positively on human welfare and reduce feelings of deprivation.
