Abstract: Utilizing data collected in the survey of China’s Family Happiness Development Index by Renmin University of China and China Population Welfare Foundation，this article explores the factors affecting the happiness of China’s families. There are four dimensions of the factors affecting family happiness:
income and housing estate are the most important factors in economic dimension; physical and mental health is the foundation of a happy family; higher education，better relationship and more leisure will increase the happiness level; better social security and social network will secure the family happiness. Differing from the existing Happiness Indexes which evaluate happiness from individual level or regional level，this article focuses on‘family’as the study object to construct the‘Family Happiness Index’to evaluate the capability of becoming happier instead of assessing the status of happiness. Based on the four dimensions，including economics，health，civilization and society，this index consists of 35 indicators with a combination of subjective and objective factors.

Keywords: Family Happiness, Happiness Development, Happiness Index

摘要： 文章利用中国人口福利基金会与中国人民大学共同开展的“中国家庭幸福发展指数研究”调查数据对影响家庭幸福的因素进行实证分析，调查结果显示，经济、健康、文明和社会四大维度对家庭幸福有着重要影响: 经济方面，收入既患寡也患不均，有房无房差别大; 健康方面，身体是幸福的本钱，身心健康是幸福家庭的“基石”; 文明方面，良好的教育、和谐的家庭内部关系和工作与闲暇的平衡是家庭幸福的重要前提; 社会方面，社会保障与政府救助是幸福路上的“安全网”，良好的外部关系是家庭幸福发展的必要条件。在此基础上，与以往个体、区域层次幸福指数的构建不同，文章以家庭这一社会细胞为单位，从幸福提升潜力而非幸福状态判断的视角，主观与客观相结合，基于以往文献和调查数据验证，从经济、健康、文明和社会四大维度35 个分指标建立家庭幸福发展指数。
