Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of China's Rural Living Environment Improvement (RLEI) program on the subjective well-being (SWB) of rural residents. Using data from the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey, the study finds that RLEI significantly improves rural residents' SWB, primarily by increasing income, consumption expenditure, and health. The rural waste RLEI program shows a greater positive impact than sewage and livestock manure programs. The monetary value of RLEI's impact on SWB is nearly equivalent to the effect of household income.
