收入、就业、婚姻…你的幸福感来源已被“社会心态蓝皮书”收录
Income and employment are two leading stress factors that could affect one’s happiness in urban areas, according to the Annual Report on Social Mentality of China 2019 released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Thursday. To help increase citizens’ happiness, the government should pitch in with efforts to raise income and create more jobs.
Other stressors include commuting, social relationships, marriage or romantic relationships, career or education, and commodity prices.
Chinese men, especially those over the age of 50, are more satisfied with their marriages than their female counterparts, according to the report. And people living in first-tier cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen were the least happy in their marriage life.
The report concluded that a person's social and economic status and emphasis on family values contributed positively to a satisfactory marriage life while the pursuit of material goods negatively affected it.
The blue book shows that female respondents reported higher mental health levels than male respondents, indicating that women adapt better to their surroundings and have more harmonious intimate relationships. It also implies that women pay more attention to self-development and setting a clear life goal.
The study also found that respondents from China’s northeastern region and the country’s first and third tier cities showed good mental health overall. When it comes to age groups, those born in the 1990s reported the most positive mentality.
More than 90 percent of respondents expressed concerns over their privacy and the use of their personal information in the era of big data, the report says.
As social media and artificial intelligence bring unprecedented convenience, a seemingly unstoppable encroachment on people’s personal privacy is also on the way.
The report reveals the public’s worry about the potential loss of privacy in cases where one’s personal information and online tracks are handed to a third-party, with intermediary agencies being the least trusted. On the other hand, the public most trust organizations and institutions such as government agencies, household registration department and the banks on preserving their information.
The blue book explained that the increase in data breaches as well as lack of proper privacy protection laws are the main reasons for people’s concerns.
