Lepinteur, A and Piper, A (2023) Well-Being Over the Work Life. In: Zimmermann, KF, (ed.) Handbook of Labor, Human Resources and Population Economics. Springer ISBN 978-3-319-57365-6
Abstract
Much research has been devoted to uncovering evidence regarding the relationship between age and well-being. A substantial majority of this evidence indicates that well-being follows a U-shape pattern over working life, concomitant with a midlife low. This evidence comes from the raw data, as well as both cross-sectional and longitudinal investigations. This evidence is explored and discussed along with an appraisal of literature disagreeing with the dominant finding. Additionally, this chapter discusses the currently much less populous literature that attempts to find reasons for this midlife low and puts forward suggestions for future research.
