Abstract
The world’s economic growth has increased wealth, yet Max-Neef challenges economic growth as the primary indicator of well-being. This study applies a human-centered approach to investigate the relationships between income, happiness, and religiosity. Income represents an economic indicator, while happiness and religiosity are human-centered. Using regression analysis and paired T-tests, the findings show significant correlations in the income-religiosity and religiosity-happiness nexus. However, the income-religiosity nexus weakens over time, suggesting that as economic conditions improve, its influence on religiosity decreases.
