Abstract: Happiness is a universal pursuit of human societies. Measuring quality of life needs to combine objective conditions and subjective perceptions. The objective dimension has been largely established by measuring healthy life expectancy, while the subjective dimension is virtually absent. This research assesses the subjective component through a measure of happy life expectancy.While a lot of research have been done in many countries on measurement and analysis of healthy life expectancy over the past several decades, studies on happy life expectancy are only recent and rare.We did not find any research on happy life expectancy in China. This paper uses the CGSS data and life table method to produce estimates of happy life expectancy in China over 2005-2015. The results suggest there is “compression of unhappiness” or “expansion of happiness” in China over the period under study. We hold that the combination of healthy life expectancy and happy life expectancy can have a fuller and more comprehensive reflection on peoples quality of life.
