Overview

Cross-sectional survey analysis reveals higher life satisfaction in smaller settlements across Egypt, suggesting large urban centers reduce subjective well-being in developing nations.

Key Points

To determine the relationship between urbanization, measured by settlement population size, and subjective well-being, operationalized as life satisfaction, in Egypt.
Analyzed nationally representative survey data from the World Values Survey in Egypt.
Conducted multivariate regression analyses comparing settlements of varying population sizes and geographic regions while controlling for extensive socio-demographic variables.
Residents of the smallest settlements reported the highest positive subjective well-being compared to those in large urban centers, an effect that remained robust after adjusting for socio-demographic covariates.
The primary economic and metropolitan centers, Greater Cairo and Alexandria, exhibited significantly lower subjective well-being relative to rural areas in Lower and Upper Egypt.
