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 (4youth_happiness.rds) derived from IPUMS-harmonised MICS waves (Nigeria 2016 & 2021).
Processed outputs including tables, figures, and model summaries.
Highlights from the analysis:
Significant decline in affective happiness among Nigerian youth (mean score 4.5 → 4.1; p < 0.001).
Strengthening the negative association with state-level vulnerability (GVI) in 2021.
Low between-state variation (ICC ≈ 3.3%).
