    In many societies, parents prefer sons over daughters, but the well-being effects of child gender, especially in later life, are less studied. Using the latest two waves of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), this paper evaluates the impacts of having daughters on older parents' subjective well-being (SWB) in China, which has a rapidly aging population and the traditional preference for sons. Studying the cohort of parents whose child gender is as good as random, we find that having more daughters promotes older parents' SWB, especially overall life satisfaction, satisfaction with health, and satisfaction with children. Our results suggest that the increase in SWB is achieved through better health, more financial support from daughters, more spending on leisure and a lower probability of working. The positive SWB effects of daughters are found to be more salient among more vulnerable groups, including those who are older, less educated, and with fewer children.

    We examine the relationship between household income and happiness in Afghanistan and the moderating roles of fear of insecurity and experiencing violence. Our study is based on surveys conducted by the Asia Foundation from 2014 to 2021 across 34 provinces in Afghanistan. Employing fixed effects ordered logit regressions, our results reveal a positive association between income and happiness. Additionally, we find a negative association between fear of insecurity, experiencing violence, and happiness. Among individuals with higher incomes and a fear of insecurity, the probability of having a high level of happiness declines by about 2.4% points when compared to those without such fear. Furthermore, for individuals with higher incomes who have experienced violence, the probability of having a high level of happiness declines by about 3.8% points when compared to those who have not experienced violence. However, for individuals with low incomes, insecurity and violence do not significantly impact their predicated level of happiness. This result can be attributed to two main issues. First, in conflict-affected areas, high-income individuals not only encounter the inherent dangers of their environment and the constant threat of terrorism, but also face increased risk of asset loss and institutional mistrust due to rampant corruption. Second, fear of insecurity and experiencing violence are influenced by psychological factors and diminish the positive impact of higher income on happiness. The results are robust to the inclusion of other socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the respondents.

  7. Gender, loneliness and happiness during COVID-19

    We analyse a measure of loneliness from a representative sample of German individuals interviewed in both 2017 and at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Both men and women felt lonelier during the COVID-19 pandemic than they did in 2017. The pandemic more than doubled the gender loneliness gap: women were lonelier than men in 2017, and the 2017-2020 rise in loneliness was far larger for women. This rise is mirrored in life-satisfaction scores. Men's life satisfaction changed only little between 2017 and 2020; yet that of women fell dramatically, and sufficiently so to produce a female penalty in life satisfaction. We estimate that almost all of this female penalty is explained by the disproportionate rise in loneliness for women during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    This paper applies the German Socio-Economic Panel to analyse the effect of within household in-come comparison on individual life satisfaction. Our estimates indicate, a primary breadwinner wifedecreases spousal individual happiness by roughly nine per cent. To state the economic significance,ae70,000 increase in external, peer reference income corresponds to a similar individual happinessdecrease. The estimates suggest envy effects among couples and provide mixed evidence for genderroles to influence subjective well-being. Based on subsample estimations, our results are driven byyounger birth year quartiles, lower education and total income households, East German couples andhouseholds with greater fulltime employment share. The paper adds to within household interdepen-dence of subjective well-being and indicates negative consequences of couple income comparison forindividual happiness. Wives (barely) outearning their husbands seem to signal ’competition’.

    The ongoing process of climate change goes along with an increase in the frequency and severity of various sorts of natural disasters. While the existing literature has almost exclusively focused on studying the direct effects resulting from different types of disasters, the effect of changing disaster risk so far has largely been neglected. In this paper we study the effect of hurricane risk on individual self-reported life satisfaction. In order to do so we combine geo-referenced survey data from the U.S. Gallup Daily Survey and hurricane data for the United States. Using Willoughby's (2006) wind field model we construct time-varying indicators of hurricane risk on the zip-code-level for the period of 2010 to 2018, based on historical hurricane data. We then study whether the time-varying hurricane risk indicators affect self-reported life satisfaction in a two-way fixed effects model. Our findings indicate that regions with comparatively high hurricane risk report significantly lower levels of life satisfaction than their counterparts in less hurricane-prone regions, even after controlling for zip-code-specific, time-specific and individual-specific differences. Thus, the impacts of natural disasters on life satisfaction tend to be underestimated when focusing on the direct effects exclusively.

    This study is an empirical investigation of the empty nest syndrome, commonly understood as a situation where there are feelings of loss or loneliness for mothers and/or fathers following the departure of the last child from the family home. This investigation makes use of rich, longitudinal, nationally representative German data to assess whether there is evidence for such a syndrome. Furthermore, the analysis considers the role of two key economic variables: consumption and leisure via the standard economic concept of utility maximisation. The analysis highlights a conflict between what economic theory predicts - more disposable income and a gain of leisure time - and the psychological (and cultural) notion of the lonely, sad empty nester. This conflict is an empirical question and here it is resolved via an assessment of the change in life satisfaction that is reported when parents become empty nesters. Importantly, this investigation also tracks what the last child leaving the household goes on to do: The found reduced life satisfaction seems to be wholly moderated if the last child leaves the nest for the purposes of education, but not if for purposes of employment.
