Unemployment is related to economic, political and social aspects. One of the least analysed social aspects is the relationship between unemployment and the (individual) perceived levels of well-being, such as life satisfaction or happiness. This chapter complements previous work on the subject, using a panel-data econometrics methodology to analyze the relationship between unemployment and life satisfaction in a wide range of countries worldwide. The results confirm that unemployment has a negative effect, statistically significant, on life satisfaction, either for men or for women.

A global trend today is the gradual replacement of the large-scale centralized electric energy by a small distributed electric generation. It became possible after being by the competitiveness of renewable energy-based facilities which can be installed everywhere. New technologies of distributed generation guarantee quick electrification of new areas, low capital and operation expenses, progressive reduction of costs and tariffs, lower vulnerability due to man-made disasters, cyber attacks and terrorist acts. Distributed energy is very attractive for African and Asian countries with vast hard-of-access and little developed areas and multiple contingents of poor population for whom electric energy is inaccessible. It is exactly there that distributed energy has the world's highest development potential.
