dc.description.abstract | Family wellbeing is looked at as a multi-dimensional concept compromising the physical, social, economic and psychological wellbeing. These different elements in families are dynamic in nature and are in turn also shaped by social, economic, political and psychological processes in society. Local research indicates that similar to other countries in the world, heterogeneity in Maltese couple relationships is the mark of the 21st century. What seems to be constant however, is that being in a warm and supportive couple relationship is associated with the highest level of life satisfaction. This also applies to parent-child relationships. Income adequacy is discussed as a major predictor of life satisfaction. Other major wellbeing concerns include public health issues such as obesity, alcohol consumption and the high incidence of circulatory diseases. Finally worry over poor air quality also has an important influence on Maltese families' wellbeing. | en_GB |
