Abstract

We study the process of subjective well‐being adaptation to receiving welfare benefits. Using 15 waves of the German Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security and fixed‐effects regression models, we find that welfare benefit receipt decreases life satisfaction. Furthermore, on average, the results speak against the hypothesis of adaptation to receiving the benefit; the subjective well‐being of welfare benefit receipt starts poor and stays poor. On average, the life satisfaction of women with small children does not decrease upon receipt of welfare benefits.

经济情况调查福利和主观幸福感的时间变化：受助人的生活满意度会恢复吗？

我们研究了主观幸福感对领取福利金的适应过程。通过 15 次德国劳动力市场和社会保障小组研究以及固定效应回归模型，我们发现领取福利金会降低生活满意度。此外，平均而言，研究结果与领取福利的适应性假设相悖；领取福利的主观幸福感一开始很差，后来也一直很差。平均而言，有小孩的妇女的生活满意度并没有因为领取福利金而降低。
