摘要：
We study the process of subjective well-being adaptation to receiving welfare benefits. Using 15 waves of the German Panel Study Labour Market and Social Security and fixed-effects regression models, we find that welfare benefit receipt decreases life satisfaction. Furthermore, on average, the results speak against the hypothesis of adaptation to receiving the benefit; the subjective well-being of welfare benefit receipt starts poor and stays poor. On average, the life satisfaction of women with small children does not decrease upon receipt of welfare benefits.
