Abstract

Abstract: Continuously enhancing the happiness of the people is a key goal of the CPC and the Chinese government. Based on CGSS data of 2018， a hierarchical linear model is constructed to empirically analyze the relationship between social development， social justice perception， and subjective well-being. The results show that social development and social justice perception both have a positive impact on the subjective well-being of citizens. The influence of social justice perception on subjective well-being is regulated by the level of social development， and social development and social justice perception have a substitution effect on the influence of subjective well-being. In provinces with lower levels of social development， the central and western regions and rural areas， the impact of social justice perception on subjective well-being is greater. Therefore， these provinces and regions with lower levels of development will face dual pressures in promoting social development and social equity in the future. They should strive to avoid the negative effects of underdevelopment and social injustice on well-being of the citizens. Provinces and regions with higher levels of development should focus on the transformation from a relatively large total development volume to a higher development quality to further improve the social justice and add to the well-being of the citizens.

Key words: social development; social justice perception; subjective well-being; regulatory effect
