Society quality and citizen happiness——demonstrative analysis based on SZ and Xia Men

本文运用社会质量理论,从实证的角度探讨了社会质量对居民幸福感的影响。社会质量具体包含社会经济保障、社会凝聚、社会包容和社会赋权四个维度。研究发现:这四个维度均对居民幸福感产生了不同程度的显著影响;相比个体特征和地区经济因素,社会质量因素对居民幸福感的影响更为重要;地区经济增长没有带来居民幸福感的同步增长。建议政府将提升社会质量作为增进居民幸福感水平的重要政策目标,具体可从社会经济保障、社会凝聚、社会包容和社会赋权四个方面制定相应政策。
