| Sumario: | The article deals with the distribution of subjective well-being (SWB) in Brazilian favelas, highlighted as one among many dimensions of the inequalities of social conditions and stratification modalities that persist in the country. The study has used data from a recent household survey, applied to a representative sample of the adult population residing in one of 16 favelas in Maré, a peripheral region of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Subjective well-being was measured from questions about people’s satisfaction in relation to different domains of daily life, collected according to a protocol called Mansa (Manchester short assessment of quality of life). We have described patterns of inequality and differences in levels of subjective well-being according to characteristics of the Mare’s population. Gender and income, health conditions, affective relationships, exposure to armed violence, and fear of violence were some of the relevant factors associated with these patterns. |
