Abstract

Crise de la quarantaine, crise de la cinquantaine, les mots varient pour décrire ce phénomène que les anglophones qualifient de midlife crisis. Cet épisode de mal-être et de doute existe-t-il vraiment ? Le bien-être suit-il une trajectoire en forme de U au cours de la vie ? Cette question divise économistes et psychologues. La présente note montre que, sans être fausse, cette idée est réductrice. Il y a bien, en général, une baisse de la satisfaction de vie entre 25 et 40 ans et un léger rebond autour de la soixantaine. Certaines dimensions, comme la satisfaction à l’égard du niveau de vie, suivent une trajectoire en U très marquée. Toutefois, cette dynamique ne caractérise pas l’ensemble des dimensions du bien-être, notamment le sentiment de faire quelque chose qui a du sens.
