Abstract

The paper attempts to identify the relationship between health perception and happiness in gender relative perspective. Even there are large volume of research, devoted to analyze gender happiness disparity, most of them neglected health aspect. Moreover, although it sounds quite obvious that happiness and health perception are correlated, it?s rather clear that happiness disparity can be explained by health disparity. The results, based on World Value Survey panel data and IV regression, verifies that health perception gender ratio has positive impact on gender happiness ratio, which implies that relatively better health perception can improve corresponding gender?s relative happiness. It can be interpreted as balanced health perception between gender will lessen the gender happiness disparity.
