Using original cross-sectional Internet survey data from 32 countries in six continents, we investigate the effect of intra-household education gap on the well-being of wives and husbands. According to the results, both wives and husbands with larger intra-household education gaps report a lower probability of life satisfaction. In particular, subjective well-being is worse for a wife or husband with longer years of schooling than their partner, compared to other groups (i.e., a couple with an equal level of education or wife or husband with a lower education level than her or his partner). The impact of intra-household education gap on well-being is greater for both wives and husbands in Asian and non-high-income countries, and only wives in Western and high-income countries. It is greater for the well-educated group than for the less-educated group for both wives and husbands. Individual income remains a satisfactory channel for both wives and husbands, while the impact of the family satisfaction channel is only confirmed for wives.

使用来自六大洲32个国家的原始横断面互联网调查数据，我们调查了家庭内部教育差距对妻子和丈夫的幸福感的影响。根据结果​​，家庭内部教育差距较大的妻子和丈夫报告的生活满意度较低。特别是，受教育年限比其伴侣长的妻子或丈夫，与其他群体相比，主观幸福感更差（即，受教育程度相同的夫妇或受教育水平低于其丈夫或丈夫的妻子或丈夫）。他的伴侣）。家庭内部教育差距对亚洲和非高收入国家的妻子和丈夫的福祉影响更大，只有西方和高收入国家的妻子。受过良好教育的群体对妻子和丈夫的教育程度要高于受教育程度较低的群体。对于妻子和丈夫来说，个人收入仍然是令人满意的渠道，而家庭满意度渠道的影响仅对妻子而言是确定的。
