Summary: Data from the Chinese Household Income Project survey reveals that self-employed women have lower levels of well-being compared to their male counterparts. Self-employed men have higher levels of health, standard of living, satisfaction, and life satisfaction compared to wage-employed men. However, self-employed women have lower levels of health and life satisfaction compared to wage-employed women. Additionally, their well-being would not improve if they were selected for wage employment. Therefore, self-employed women face a double challenge of lower well-being than both self-employed men and wage-employed women.
