Women have always leaned towards the mushy side of their emotions and
we often get to see them brooding over small matters in life. Although
women may have stepped into various fields of operation and they have
battled the male-dominant society and stood up on their feet proudly,
but they end up unhappier than men later in life, reveals new research
by Anke Plagnol of the University of Cambridge, and University of
Southern California economist Richard Easterlin.
As per the research, although women start off being happy and cheerful
but at the end they tend to be less happy in comparison to men.
Plagnol and Easterlin’s study, forthcoming in the Journal of Happiness
Studies happened to be the first to use nationally representative data
which covered several decades to examine the role of unfulfilled
desires in a person’s sense of well-being. Targets and measurement of
success may vary among those raised in different generations and data
sets from a range of time periods may also have varying demographic
compositions.
“Differences between men and women in aspirations for marriage and
children are fairly small,” commented Plagnol, who received her Ph.D.
from USC in 2007. “Gender differences in satisfaction depend largely
on attainment.”
The study also found that young men are also more dissatisfied than
young women due to the financial worries. But as the ages go up, the
worries for men die out and the emotions start playing up the other
way round and thus results into women being unhappy later in their
life. As the age increases, men are at peace with financial situations
and possess increased spending power as well.
These findings are consistent with an earlier study by Easterlin
showing that recent generations are less satisfied than previous
generations, despite having more.
The study also divided the phases in age milestones as follows:
41: Age at which men’s financial satisfaction exceeds women’s
financial satisfaction
48: Age at which men’s overall happiness exceeds women’s overall
happiness
64: Age at which men’s satisfaction with family life exceeds women’s
satisfaction
The female naturally become less attractive to the male as she gets
older. In addition, many women really let themselves go after they get
married. I wouldn't be surprised if those two facts aren't the real
reason for some of the problems.
