论幸福与经济增长

Study on the Relation between Happiness and Economic Growth

从幸福的概念出发,分析了幸福是主观的、持续的和集体的,阐述了经济高速增长不等于人民幸福感的增强。分析当前影响中国人民幸福感的主要原因,包括欲望膨胀、环境恶化、收入差距增大、生活压力骤升、社会保障体制落后和无法正视心理问题几个方面。进而提出要正确看待经济增长和人民幸福之间的关系,要在以经济增长为基础的前提下努力提高人民幸福感。

Starting from the concept of happiness, this paper believes that happiness is subjective, sustained and collective, pointing out that the rapid economic growth does not necessarily enhance people＇s happiness, analyzing the main reasons that affect the Chinese people＇s happiness, such as desire expansion, environment deterioration, enlarging income gap, increasing life pressure, weak social security system and psychological problems. Finally, the paper suggests that there should be correct attitude towards the relationship between economic growth and people＇s happiness and efforts should be made to improve people＇ s happiness on the basis of economic growth.
