IPUMSWB: Analysis Code for Temporal Changes in Youth Subjective Well-Being in Nigeria (2016–2021)

Key Points

To analyze temporal changes in youth subjective well-being in Nigeria from 2016 to 2021.
Utilized R scripts for data cleaning and descriptive analysis.
Applied survey-weighted modelling to assess well-being data.
Conducted robustness checks on the findings.
Found a significant decline in affective happiness, with mean scores dropping from 4.5 to 4.1 (p < 0.001).
Identified a strengthening negative association with state-level vulnerability in 2021.
Observed low between-state variation, with an ICC of approximately 3.3%.

Abstract

Temporal Changes in Youth Subjective Well-Being in Nigeria, 2016–2021. Key contents: R scripts for data cleaning, descriptive analysis, survey-weighted modelling, and robustness checks. Cleaned dataset (4youthₕappiness. rds) derived from IPUMS-harmonised MICS waves (Nigeria 2016 p < 0. 001). Strengthening the negative association with state-level vulnerability (GVI) in 2021. Low between-state variation (ICC ≈ 3. 3%). Reproduction instructions: See the README. md for full setup (R ≥ 4. 4. 1, required packages) and script execution order.
