Abstract:
Multiple credible national and
international organizations have affirmed that sufficient
housing constitutes a fundamental human right and necessity.
The study aims to identify the factors contributing to the
housing shortage and assess the quality of life of employees
at the Ministry of Urban Development and Land (MUDL). The
research contradicted the premise that there is no
relationship between the variables under investigation, that
housing scarcity does not affect living standards, and that
diverse factors do not influence the housing shortage. This
study employs a case study methodology, a structured research
design, and a deductive reasoning approach. The study
utilized primary data gathered via a standardized,
meticulously designed questionnaire, selecting 302
participants from a total of 1227 personnel across various
departments and units of the Ministry of Urban Development
and Land through stratified random sampling. The Statistical
Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software was employed
to examine the data. The predominant responders are male,
most earn between 10,000 and 20,000 AFN monthly as a family,
the majority reside in rental accommodations, most are from
other provinces, and the majority lack the financial means to
own a home.
