Family Economic well-being: the Role of Personal Religiosity and Preaching- related Absence from Home (A case study of District Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)

Abstract

    The significance of religiosity in well-being is rapidly gaining attention. Personal religiosity may provide a subjective utility to the individual and effect positively, but not associated with the well-being of the family. Higher religiosity would require time. The present study have examined the influence of personal religiosity and preaching-related
    absence of the household head on his family's economic well-being. The data was collected through a questionnaire from 385 Muslim families. The statistical techniques applied are; ordinary least square and Ordered
    Logistic regression models. The key findings suggest that religiosity and preaching-related .absence have a strong impact on the family's economic well-being, however, the significance of preaching-related absence on
    family economic well-being is much stronger than personal religiosity.The results of the study will provide assistance in guiding the policy makers in enhancing the well-being of the people
