Abstract

El principal objetivo de este trabajo consiste en analizar si la educación incide en el bienestar subjetivo una vez descontados sus efectos sobre la salud, la renta, la participación en el mercado laboral o el estatus profesional, estudiando si existen diferencias de género en esta relación. De esta forma se pretende estudiar si la educación incide en el bienestar de hombres y mujeres de manera diferenciada, centrándonos también en cómo distintas variables ocupacionales pueden mediar en esa relación y en las diferencias de género existentes en bienestar. Así, teniendo en cuenta que la relación entre educación y bienestar subjetivo puede manifestarse de forma indirecta a través de distintas variables ocupacionales, en este estudio trataremos de controlar el efecto de variables como la participación o no en el mercado de trabajo, el tipo de jornada laboral, o las diferencias en los puestos de trabajo ocupados, a la hora de analizar las diferencias de género en bienestar y su relación con la educación. Finalmente controlamos también por el hecho de que los individuos sean o no el sustentador principal en su hogar, encontrando que las diferencias de género en bienestar tienden a desaparecer cuando consideramos esta variable. Por su parte, los resultados encontrados con relación a la educación sugieren que esta presenta tanto efectos directos como indirectos sobre el bienestar de las mujeres mientras que, en el caso de los hombres, los efectos de la educación sobre su bienestar se manifiestan únicamente de forma indirecta a través de las oportunidades laborales y de estatus profesional que ofrece la educación.
