Today, the issue of household and social welfare is of significant importance not only from an economic perspective but also from political and social dimensions. Nearly all economists consider the preservation and enhancement of household welfare as one of the primary objectives of governments. In order to improve and sustain the level of social welfare, two key variables must be taken into account: first, the level of household welfare as the driving factor of overall welfare; and second, the distribution of income among households. Accordingly, in various societies, supporting vulnerable groups and improving income distribution have consistently been among the main concerns of policymakers, legislators, and governments. The present study aims to estimate and analyze the trends in the welfare status of urban and rural households over the past two decades.
