It uses subjective well-being data to show that reductions of excessive levels of working hours did improve family well-being in the past decade. Moreover, benefits from major life events like marriage can differ greatly by sex if traditional gender roles dominate and women contribute much less than men to household earnings. Furthermore, the study examines dynamics in rural East Asian economies and their impact on individual welfare outcomes. Both land redistribution and productivity-enhancing reforms are found to have been highly beneficial for Korean development. The Indonesian case study demonstrates the importance of cash-crop decisions and the growing non-farm sector for rural development. 2019-01-10 23:55 2020-01-14 16:11:44 2020-04-01T11:29:52Z 2020-04-01T11:29:52Z 2018 book 1003147 OCN: 1082956948 9783631753521 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/26896 eng Goettinger Studien zur Entwicklungsoekonomik / Goettingen Studies in Development Economics application/pdf n/a 1003147.pdf Peter Lang International Academic Publishers 10.3726/b13874 10.3726/b13874 e927e604-2954-4bf6-826b-d5ecb47c6555 9783631753521 35 158 Bern open access
