Abstract

Life satisfaction in a society is a useful indicator to understand the quality of life there. Vulnerable groups in societies such as elderly people, people with disabilities, children, or refugees draw more attention to investigate as they are likely to need assistance to have a decent life. This study particularly focuses on refugees to investigate the determinants of life satisfaction in Ethiopia as this country provides an important shelter to considerable number of refugees in Africa. Using microdata from the World Bank’s Ethiopia Skills Profile Survey (2017), this study finds that basic human needs, safety concerns, and financial concerns play significant role on refugees’ life satisfaction in Ethiopia.
