Paper abstract

Studies on factors affecting subjective well-being have mushroomed. The factors affecting subjective well-being differ society from society. Studies show that social capital is an important factor of subjective well-being in collectivist societies. This paper investigates the relationships between social capital and subjective well-being in Uzbekistan. Using World Values Survey, I estimate ordered logistic regression. The regression model includes socio-economic and demographic variables of 1500 respondents. The analysis reveals a positive relationship between social capital (trust and participation in social activities) and subjective well-being in Uzbekistan.
