Cross-national comparative analysis of household well-being

This report examines individual and household level data with a view to tracing changes in household material and non-material well-being before and since the financial crisis of 2007-08. Based on the analysis of various selected indicators, some tentative conclusions are drawn on: 1) The overall impact of the process of financialisation and of the financial crisis on well-being across countries; 2) The impact of financialisation and of the financial crisis on different socioeconomic groups; 3) The extent to which the integration of individuals and households into financial markets has influenced household material and non-material well-being
