The family lives in China. C is 41 years old and is a businessman. His wife L is 29 years old and she runs a home shop. They live with their son M, 3 years old. Together, the couple works for 168 hours/week. The family lives in a two-bedroom house, which they rent. They moved to the area for work and they’ve been living here for the past 2 years. They like the house’s location but they don’t like its surroundings. The house has reliable electricity and the toilet is outside the house and not shared with other households. They own another house. The family has to buy 100% of their food, which costs them about 30% of their income. Water is available outside the home and is safe to drink. They use electricity and natural gas as fuel for cooking. The family saves money and sometimes goes on vacation. The furthest they’ve ever gone was to Malaysia. The next big thing they plan to buy is a car. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of buying a plot of land to farm on.
