Umsebenzi ushicilelwa kumagazini Plos One. Umthelela wokuba khona kwemali noma ukungabikho kwabo ezingeni lentokozo kufundwa isikhathi eside, kepha imiphumela yocwaningo ngalesi sihloko ivame ukungqubuzana. Ngakho-ke, ngonyaka owedlule, usosayensi wasePennsylvania University (USA) wakhombisa ukuthi imali ethe xaxa yomuntu, ukuchuma azizwa. Kuyaziwa nangokuthi amazwe aseScandinavia aqashelwa njengo-Happy (ekuhlolweni kokuhlolo kwabahlali), lapho imali idlala indima enkulu kunalokho.
Ukukhula komnotho esigabeni kuvame ukuhlotshaniswa nokwanda okuthembekile kwezinga lenhlala-kahle yabantu. Kodwa-ke, ukucwaninga kososayensi abavela emanyuvesi uMcGill (Canada) kanye neBarcelona (Spain) bakhombisa ukuthi lezi ziphetho zidinga ukubuyekeza. Abalobi basuka bayothola ukuthi bangayihlola kanjani inhlala-kahle yabo yokuthola inhlala-kahle kuleyo miphakathi lapho imali idlala indima encane futhi okuvame ukungafaki i-Global Nenjabulo Ucwaningo.
Kulokhu, ososayensi bahlala ezinyangeni eziningana emadolobhaneni amancane okudoba kanye namadolobha aseSolomoni Islands naseBangladesh - amazwe anemali engenayo ephansi kakhulu. Ngalesi sikhathi, ngosizo lwabahumushi bendawo, ababhali besifundo kaninginingi baphendula izakhamizi zezindawo zasemakhaya nasemadolobheni (uqobo nangezingcingo) mayelana nokuthi yini injabulo enhle ngabo. Futhi babuzwa ngemizwa yesikhathi esedlule, indlela yokuphila, imali engenayo, ukudoba kanye nebhizinisi lasekhaya. Onke amavoti awenziwa ngezikhathi lapho abantu bebengakulungele, okukhulisa izinga lokuzethemba ngezimpendulo.
Lolu cwaningo luhanjelwe ngabantu abangama-678 abaneminyaka engama-20 kuye kwangama-50, iminyaka emaphakathi yayiyiminyaka engama-37. Cishe amaphesenti angama-85 alabo abahlolisisiwe eBangladesh ayengamadoda, ngoba izinkambiso zokuziphatha zaleli lizwe zenze kwaba nzima ukuxoxisana nabesifazane. Ososayensi bagcizelela nokuthi izimpendulo zemibuzo yamadoda nabesifazane baseSolomon Islands bahluka ngokungafani, njengoba imithetho yobulili yabo icishe ifane, ngokungafani neBangladesh. Ngakho-ke, kudingeka ucwaningo olunye iziphetho zokugcina.
Imiphumela yomsebenzi ikhombisile ukuthi imali engenayo ephakeme kanye nenhlala-kahle ngokwezinto ezibonakalayo kubantu (ngokwesibonelo, emadolobheni uma kuqhathaniswa nemizana), bajabule kakhulu bazizwa. Futhi okuphambene nalokho: kwehlisa imali engenayo yabahlanganyeli, babiza kakhulu ababezizwa bejabule ngokwengeziwe, bexhumanisa nenhlala-kahle nemvelo nasesikondeni labathandekayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, umuzwa wentokozo ungakuthinta ukuqhathanisa kwabo nabanye - labo abahlala emazweni athuthukile, ngakho-ke ukufinyelela kwi-Intanethi kanye nezinsizakusebenza ezifanayo futhi kunciphisa izinga lenjabulo ebonakalayo. Ososayensi baphetha ngokuthi imali yokuzala, ikakhulukazi ezigabeni zokuqala zokuthuthukiswa komphakathi, ingaba yingozi enhlalakahleni yamalungu ayo.
