“…The literature on the relationship between housing‐related factors and subjective well‐being focuses on the effects of homeownership (Hu, 2013; Hu & Ye, 2020; Zumbro, 2014). However, little is known on the extent to which housing quality affects people’s subjective well‐being.…”

“…The critical role of homeownership in marriage has lowered the age of home buyers in China compared with those in other countries. The rate of homeownership in urban China is over 80% (Hu & Ye, 2020). These data suggest that the channel through which housing characteristics affect individuals’ overall happiness may depend on housing assets (Zhang & Zhang, 2019).…”

“…Generally, most studies conclude that homeownership conduces subjective well‐being (Diaz‐Serrano, 2009; Hu, 2013; Zhang & Zhang, 2019; Zumbro, 2014). Hu and Ye (2020) further examined the heterogeneity of the association between homeownership and happiness across ownership types. The authors posited that homeownership as well as ownership types matter for happiness.…”

“…Third, the questionnaire contains rich information on household demographic information and socio‐economic characteristics (i.e., gender, age, marital status, number of children, number of siblings, political status, household income, education and language skills, and so on). These details allow us to control for such observables, which are critical in explaining overall happiness (Appleton & Song, 2008; Cuñado & de Gracia, 2012; Hu & Ye, 2020). Local hukou and communism are two socio‐cultural variables with Chinese characteristics.…”

This study examines the relationship between housing quality and individuals’ subjective well‐being. Using data from the China Labor‐force Dynamic Survey (CLDS), results show that housing quality is associated positively with one’s overall happiness. Moreover, the results are robust to potential omitted variable bias. In addition, we determine that housing quality is more correlated with perceived happiness for local residents compared with migrants, who generally have lower levels of happiness. Mechanisms are provided through which the migrant population, which is generally less likely to reside in the current cities, cares less about living conditions than the local population. Policy implications for these findings are discussed.

The paper aims to investigate factors connected with the residential satisfaction of the adolescents and to compare them with the factors influencing residential satisfaction among adults. The primary research was conducted in secondary schools in the Bialystok Functional Area. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a multinomial logistic regression model. The results show that living standards are a crucial issue in residential satisfaction. Living in an owner-occupied dwelling and having one’s own room reduced the likelihood of being dissatisfied with housing.
