Abstract

This study analyzes the most appropriate variables to measure the subjective quality of life in Latin America, estimating for this purpose an ordered logistic regression for Buenos Aires, Santiago, San Pablo, Bogota, Panama, La Paz, Mexico City, Caracas, City, Quito, Lima, and Montevideo. The model was able to confirm that the subjective quality of life in the Latin American cities is greatly influenced by the satisfaction that individuals report with their housing and work. We also established that individuals’ well-being in Latin America is linked to having decent housing and work, which contrasts with the high rates of poverty, unemployment, and informality in these countries.
