Abstract Aspirations, along with attainments, play an important role in shaping wellbeing. Early in adult life women are more likely than men to fulfill their material goods and family life aspirations; their satisfaction in these domains is correspondingly higher; and so too is their overall happiness. Material goods aspirations refer here to desires for a number of big-ticket consumer goods, such as a home, car, travel abroad and vacation home. In later life these gender differences turn around. Men come closer than women to fulfilling their material goods and family life aspirations, are more satisfied with their financial situation and family life, and are the happier of the two genders. An important factor underlying the turnaround in fulfillment of aspirations for material goods and family life is probably the shift over the course of the life cycle in the relative proportion of women and men in marital and non-marital unions.

Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) imposes
ring costs for per-manent workers and restricts the use of temporary employment. While the e¤ects of these regulations on employment and unemployment have been studied, nothing is known empirically about their welfare e¤ects. This paper presents the
rst study of the link between both dimensions of EPL and workerswellbeing using longitudinal data on 250,000 workers from 13 nations. The results provide evidence that both permanent and temporary employees gain from reforms easing restrictions on temporary employment but leaving
ring costs for permanent workers unchanged. This nding contrasts with the common assumption found in the politi-cal economy literature whereby temporary workers oppose protection for permanent workers. 1

Unemployment is one of the most damaging personal experiences for someone participating in the labor market. In this paper we examine the factors that affect unemployed workers ’ well-being, distinguishing several dimensions such as satisfaction with activity, income and leisure time, using the data from ECHP. While in all EU countries unemployment incidence reduces substantially the satisfaction levels with main activity and finance, and increases substantially the satisfaction level with leisure time, there are large cross-country differences in the well-being consequences of unemployment. We show that these differences can be partially attributed to employment policies and regulations affecting the functioning of the labor market. In countries where the unemployment rate is lower, unemployment spells are shorter and unemployment protection (unemployment benefits and active labor market policies) is greater, the observed effects of unemployment on satisfaction are much smaller. A similar relationship is found with respect to job prospects expressed by unemployed workers. That is, well-being loss of unemployment is smaller in those countries where a greater proportion of unemployed workers express good job prospects during the next 12 months. In particular, Denmark and the Netherlands stand out for their reduced negative effect of unemployment on worker's well-being. We may conclude tentatively that the flexicurity model that underpins employment policies in these two countries is indeed effective at reducing the burden of unemployment on individual well-being.
