中文摘要：

基于“世界价值观调查”等微观调查数据库,运用回归分析及差异分解的方法,本文首次研究了我国性别幸福感差异及其产生的原因。研究发现：我国女性的幸福感显著高于男性,并且差异产生的原因不是由于年龄、健康、受教育程度、就业、收入、婚姻等可观测因素的影响,而是由于某些不可观测的因素。这个结论对于不同年份、不同群体、不同数据库均成立。进一步研究发现,性别的歧视产生的社会压力可能对我国性别幸福感差异的产生起到了一定的作用。男性较低的幸福感来源于社会对于男性较高的期望,而更深层次的是对于女性的歧视。在我国,男性有更好的教育、更高的就业率和收入。这种男性占有优势的不平等,反而使男性产生较低的主观幸福感,这种“悖论”值得大家深思。

英文摘要：

Based on the World Value Survey data, this paper analyzes the gender happiness gap using regress and decompose method. The results indicate that Chinese female is happier than male. The reason of gender happiness gap is not from observed factor, such as age, health, education, employment, income and marriage, but from unobserved factors. This result is robustness for different year, different group, and different database. The further research finds that ＂Pressure＂ plays an important role in the creation of gender happiness gap. The lower happiness of Chinese male is caused by the high expectation for them. The deeper reason is the discrimination for Chinese female people. In Chinese society, male people have higher education, more job opportunity and higher income than female people, but have lower happiness. This kind of situation deserves deep thought.
