How does subjective well-being evolve with age? A literature review

By:	López Ulloa, Beatriz Fabiola; Møller, Valerie; Sousa-Poza, Alfonso
Abstract:	This literature review provides an overview of the theoretical and empirical research in several disciplines on the relation between ageing and subjective well-being, i.e., how subjective well-being evolves across the lifespan. Because of the different methodologies, data sets and samples used, comparison among disciplines and studies is difficult. However, extant studies do show either a U-shaped, inverted U-shaped or linear relation between ageing and subjective well-being. --
