A Literature Review %D 2013 %8 2013 Apr %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 7328 %U https://www.iza.org/publications/dp7328 %X 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. %K ageing %K life satisfaction %K U-shape
