Abstract: In the context of recent emergence of a huge research and policy interest in the determinants of happiness, this paper analyses the role of women's political empowerment on the citizen's subjective well-being from a global perspective. After discussing some transmission channels through which this relationship can be ascertained in the light of attendant literature, we estimate a crosssectional model consisting of 144 countries. Overall the ï¬ ndings reveal that women's political empowerment promote.
