Abstract: Based on data from the 2005 and the 2015 Chinese General Social Surveys (CGSS) survey, this paper compared and analyzed the influence of education on urban–rural subjective well-being (SWB), from which the following were found: (1) over the decade, SWB increased significantly, with the higher the education, the higher the SWB; however, there was a greater SWB increase over the ten years in residents with lower education levels; (2) while there was a significant positive relationship found between education level and SWB, the positive effect was weakening; (3) the influence of education level on urban and rural SWB was significantly different.
