Abstract

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo encontrar y analizar los efectos causales de diversos factores socioeconómicos y demográficos en la satisfacción con la vida de los hogares de Medellín. Para ello, se estima un modelo logístico, categorizando en dos grupos las variables explicativas: los aspectos inherentes al ser y las características relacionadas al tener. Los principales resultados sugieren que estar soltero en relación con otro estado civil tiene un efecto negativo en el bienestar subjetivo, así como el hecho de ser afrodescendiente con respecto a otro grupo étnico. Por el lado del tener, cabe resaltar que mayores niveles de educación y estratos socioeconómicos más altos incrementan el bienestar subjetivo. Se concluye que tanto las características del ser como las del tener son fundamentales para explicar la satisfacción con la vida, y por tanto, para la toma de decisiones de política pública.
