Sharon Jayson for the USA Today reports that men are happier than women later in life. She writes:
Women start out as happy young adults but by midlife wind up the sadder sex, says a new study on satisfaction related to financial circumstances and family life, which past research has shown play a significant role in well-being and happiness.
Researchers analyzed decades of national data on 47,000 men and women to create a statistical model that shows women’s happiness decreases, while men’s increases, exceeding women’s by age 48.
