The article examines the persistent gender inequalities that undermine women's well-being across various spheres. A recent scientific review highlights paradoxes regarding women's reported happiness versus their mental health challenges. It delves into the curious observation: why women report higher happiness yet face negative mental health outcomes. While significant progress has been made for women, this review underscores a troubling trend of declining women's well-being globally, particularly concerning emotional distress. The authors attribute these gender disparities to cultural influences, biological factors, and the application of well-being measures, emphasizing the complexity of the issue across different countries.
The researchers acknowledge significant variability between countries, noting that these apparent contradictions don't hold true everywhere. However, they confirm the existence of a gender gap in well-being.
A scientific review published on Wednesday in Science Advances has precisely analyzed gender gaps in well-being and explored a couple of contradictions within this field.
