The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness
尽管过去35年美国女性在客观指标上有所改善，但主观幸福感却绝对下降且相对于男性下降，逆转了1970年代女性幸福感高于男性的性别差距。
The lives of women in the United States have improved over the past 35 years by many objective measures, yet we show that measures of subjective well-being indicate that women's happiness has declined both absolutely and relative to men. This decline in relative well-being is found across various datasets, measures of subjective well-being, demographic groups, and industrialized countries. Relative declines in female happiness have eroded a gender gap in happiness in which women in the 1970s reported higher subjective well-being than did men. These declines have continued and a new gender gap is emerging—one with higher subjective well-being for men.
