This study is unique in exploiting 12 youth cohorts (aged 11–15) from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the UK Household Longitudinal Study (UKHLS) spanning 1996–2017 to investigate the gender gradient of adolescent life satisfaction. We find robust evidence of a cross-cohort gender gap particularly at the extremes of the adolescent life satisfaction distribution. Male adolescents are significantly more likely to report complete life satisfaction (by around 6%–14%) and females to report dissatisfaction (by around 3%–7%) indicating a higher female depression propensity. An intra-household gender gap is found for female adolescents raised with opposite sex siblings. Previous period life satisfaction is the strongest determinant of prospective higher self-reported male satisfaction levels.

青春期生活满意度性别梯度的多队列研究：来自英国的纵向证据*

这项研究的独特之处在于利用了 1996-2017 年英国家庭小组调查 (BHPS) 和英国家庭纵向研究 (UKHLS) 的 12 个青年队列（11-15 岁）来调查青少年生活满意度的性别梯度。我们发现了跨队列性别差距的有力证据，特别是在青少年生活满意度分布的极端情况下。男性青少年更有可能报告完全的生活满意度（约 6%–14%），女性报告不满意（约 3%–7%），表明女性抑郁倾向更高。在与异性兄弟姐妹一起抚养的女性青少年中发现了家庭内部的性别差距。前一段时间的生活满意度是未来更高的自我报告男性满意度的最强决定因素。
