The rela/onship between human well-­‐being and economic growth ! Two Stages Theory (Ronald Inglehart, 1997): " “Economic Gains” stage: human well-­‐being is sensi>ve to economic gains; " “life style” stage: the economic gains contribute liile happiness. " 5000 US dollars (in the year of 1995) is a watershed. ! According to IMF data and at PPP and at 1995, the per capital GDP 2011 of China have reached 5207 US dollars.

! At least, we can conclude that the east part of China has entered the “Life Style” stage with the considera>on of regional disparity.
