Subjective well-being in China
Posted on Jan 23, 2010
Subjective well-being, an overall evaluation of one’s life, is subject to an individual’s life experiences.

This phenomenon could be more prominent when people with different backgrounds go through different life experiences in a process of social change. China is a typical example. During the past three decades, China has experienced fast economic growth and dramatic social change. This rapid change may result in different meanings in perceiving the current life and the past life across different groups.
