Abstract: This study suggests that children capabilities are influenced by family surroundings inducing household well-being in the functioning space of the household to influence health and education levels. The methodology applied in this study follows a Covariance Structure Model and analyzes the case of Antioquia (Colombia). The results suggest positive impacts of education and household well-being, affecting children’s education and health levels. This suggests that the State should encourage policies aimed at improving people’s well-being in order to increase freedom of opportunity.
