This article presents survey data from households from the Muoyo-Mukukutu area in Western Province, Zambia based on stratified sampling. Data from 411 households were collected using a questionnaire survey from 2022. Understanding the complexities of well-being is crucial for informing policies to enhance the quality of life and reduce multidimensional poverty in developing countries. Hence, the survey focuses on subjective and objective well-being and their determinants. Survey data contains details on various dimensions of objective well-being, such as living standards, health, and nutrition. It also covers the issue of subjective well-being (life satisfaction), including the related concept of freedom of choice. Moreover, we collected detailed information about diverse forms of inequalities and deprivations at the societal and intra-household level, paying particular attention to the areas of social capital and decisionmaking power. Additionally, the data contain details about the relationships with and attitudes to traditional leaders and statutory government representatives, respondents' economic activities and aspirations (with a special focus on agriculture), and their various socio-demographic characteristics. Individual survey results can be compared with a robust set of data as we inten tionally used questions applied in other international surveys when possible. (c) 2024 The Authors.
