In recent years, self-reported happiness and fuel poverty have both become hotly-debated topics in the literature. Since both of them affect people’s quality of life, they are certainly worth serious consideration. Therefore, this paper aims to conduct a household-level analysis on the association between happiness and fuel poverty taking advantage of other housing characteristics. We used ordered logit model utilizing Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT)‘s 2014–2018 Life Satisfaction Survey (LSS) data for the analysis. Our dependent variable is household happiness. The results show that household fuel poverty is negatively associated with household happiness in Turkey. A positive association exists between becoming home-owner and household happiness in the country; however, it becomes mostly negative after considering odds ratios. On the other hand, there is a positive association between climbing income ladder and household happiness in the country. Also, the presence of men in households is found to be negatively associated with household happiness in Turkey. Our results imply a U-shaped association between age groups in households and household happiness in the country. Finally, we found that the association between an increase in household size and household happiness varies across each category of the independent variable. This is also the case for the association between number of rooms and household happiness as well as for the association between dwelling area and household happiness in Turkey.

家庭幸福与燃料贫困:对土耳其的跨部门分析

近年来,自我报告的幸福感和燃料匮乏都已成为文学界的热门话题。由于它们都影响人们的生活质量,因此当然值得认真考虑。因此,本文旨在利用其他住房特征对家庭幸福感与燃油贫困之间的关系进行家庭层面的分析。我们使用有序logit模型,利用土耳其统计局(TURKSTAT)的2014–2018年生活满意度调查(LSS)数据进行分析。我们的因变量是家庭幸福。结果表明,土耳其的家庭燃料匮乏与家庭幸福感呈负相关。在该国成为房主与家庭幸福之间存在积极的联系。但是,考虑到比值比后,它大部分变为负数。另一方面,该国的收入阶梯上升与家庭幸福之间存在正相关关系。另外,在土耳其,男人在家庭中的存在与家庭幸福负相关。我们的结果表明,家庭年龄段与该国家庭幸福之间呈U型联系。最后,我们发现家庭人数增加与家庭幸福之间的关联因自变量的每个类别而异。在土耳其,房间数与家庭幸福之间的关联以及居住区与家庭幸福之间的关联也是如此。在土耳其,男人在家庭中的存在与家庭幸福负相关。我们的结果表明,家庭年龄段与该国家庭幸福之间呈U型联系。最后,我们发现家庭人数增加与家庭幸福之间的关联因自变量的每个类别而异。在土耳其,房间数与家庭幸福之间的关联以及居住区与家庭幸福之间的关联也是如此。在土耳其,男人在家庭中的存在与家庭幸福负相关。我们的结果表明,家庭年龄段与该国家庭幸福之间呈U型联系。最后,我们发现家庭人数增加与家庭幸福之间的关联因自变量的每个类别而异。在土耳其,房间数与家庭幸福之间的关联以及居住区与家庭幸福之间的关联也是如此。我们发现,家庭人数增加与家庭幸福之间的关联因自变量的每个类别而异。在土耳其,房间数与家庭幸福之间的关联以及居住区与家庭幸福之间的关联也是如此。我们发现,家庭人数增加与家庭幸福之间的关联因自变量的每个类别而异。在土耳其,房间数与家庭幸福之间的关联以及居住区与家庭幸福之间的关联也是如此。
