Abstract
This article discusses and proves the impacts that the differences in housing condition, age, income, graduate degree and profession etc. have on citizens´ happiness index, and further analyzes the difference performance. According to the empirical data, age, income and profession have major impacts on happiness index, while housing and graduate degree have no impacts. Through analyzing the reasons lying behind the differences, we find, at present, China has done a good job in building social security system for senior citizens. With stable endowment insurance, senior citizens have the strongest sense of happiness. Graduate degree has no decisive impact on happiness index, but the profession has great relation to happiness index. Those citizens with higher income are more likely to feel happy. Therefore, the government should make public administration more positive and effective by continuously lowering tax revenue level, raising wage and welfare, and cutting price, etc.
