• During the workshop, Francisco Olivos, Ph.D. in Sociology from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, analyzed topics related to gender structure adjustment and subjective well-being.
  

In the meeting, organized by LM²C² researchers Andrea Canales, Tania Hutt and Mauricio Bucca, Francisco Olivos explained that social and individual well-being varies significantly depending on the implementation of the rule of law.

In his study "Institutional Context and Life Satisfaction," he explored two hypotheses using a dataset. First, the relationship between political power and subjective well-being is less pronounced in countries with a strong rule of law. This suggests that well-defined and fair laws can reduce the importance of political power in the perception of personal well-being. On the other hand, in countries with a weak rule of law, political power has a more significant impact on people's subjective well-being, highlighting the importance of robust and fair institutions.

Olivos' findings indicate that high-quality and well-functioning institutions can level access to well-being, providing valuable insights for future social and economic policies. This study deepens the understanding of power dynamics and well-being and offers guidance for improving justice and equity in various societies.
