Abstract

Using the 2015 China Comprehensive Social Survey (CGSS) data and an ordered logit model, this article empirically tests the impact of education on residents’ subjective well-being and analyzes its impact mechanism. Sample data show that education significantly improves residents’ subjective well-being. It can affect residents’ subjective well-being by affecting residents’ perceptions of social justice, class mobility opportunities, social trust, and class cognition which are beneficial to subjective well-being. To be specific, education promotes people’s improvement of social justice, social trust and class cognition, but reduces people’s cognition of class mobility.
