With conversations on the overconsumption of media teeming in the discourse space, the benefits of entertainment have been swept under the rug. So, in this episode of Wealth Pathways: The Affluence Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella is joined by micro-econometrics researcher Dr. Silvia Salazar to delve into the heart of what makes entertainment worth the pennies.
A senior research fellow at Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre, Dr. Silvia Salazar’s research focuses on the analysis of household well-being and consumption levels. Impressively, Dr. Silvia Salazar has worked in partnership with various government institutions and local councils to deliver public policy analysis on gender economics, the green economy and regional development, which has led to the implementation of government strategies at the federal and state levels.
In this episode, Dr. Silvia Salazar sheds light on how technology has transformed the average person’s definition of entertainment, it being previously regarded as a luxury. She elaborates on the positive effects entertainment and leisure tend to have on well-being, and details how to adapt our entertainment spending with the economy.
Together, Marie and Dr. Silvia Salazar explore emerging trends in entertainment consumption and how they may shape future spending patterns. So, tune in this week for an economics perspective on optimizing your entertainment budget for a more enriching life!
