Abstract

Women’s happiness can be influenced by various factors, including marital status. This study analyzes the relationship between marital status and women's happiness in Indonesia using pooled crossectional data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 & 5 in 2007 and 2014. The probit regression method is applied to estimate the impact of marital status on the probability of happiness. Results show that widowed and/or divorced women have significantly lower probabilities of happiness than married women (p-value < 0.01). In addition, the probability of being happy for women who are divorced is higher than those who are widowed (p-value < 0.1). This study also emphasizes that education has an important role in improving women's happiness. The implications of this study suggest the importance of policy interventions to improve access to education for women, particularly for those who are socially and economically vulnerable.

Bahasa Abstract

Kebahagiaan pada wanita dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk status perkawinan. Penelitian ini menganalisis hubungan antara status perkawinan dan kebahagiaan wanita di Indonesia dengan menggunakan data pooled cross-section dari Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) gelombang 4 & 5 di tahun 2007 dan 2014. Metode regresi probit diterapkan untuk mengestimasi dampak status perkawinan terhadap probabilitas kebahagiaan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa wanita yang bercerai, baik cerai mati maupun cerai hidup, secara signifikan memiliki probabilitas kebahagiaan yang lebih rendah dibandingkan wanita yang menikah (p-value < 0.01). Selain itu, kebahagiaan wanita janda cerai hidup lebih tinggi dibandingkan janda cerai mati (p-value < 0.1). Studi ini juga menekankan bahwa pendidikan berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kebahagiaan wanita. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya intervensi kebijakan untuk meningkatkan akses pendidikan bagi wanita, khususnya bagi mereka yang rentan secara sosial dan ekonomi.
