In addition to the imbalances in public services between rural and urban areas, Wu said disparities also exist among different groups living in the same place who are divided according to factors such as where they live, whom they work for and how much they earn.
Those who live in urban downtown areas tend to be more satisfied with infrastructure, social security, education and medical health facilities, compared to those who live in suburbs, according to the report.
It noted that people who work in government and for government-sponsored institutions are among the most satisfied groups.
The report also found that those with a monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan (794.77 U.S. dollars) feel happier and are more confident about the future than their peers earning less than 1,000 yuan per month.
According to the report, people working in state-owned enterprises are the least content with social security, partly due to a sense of insecurity after a reform in this sector that was launched about two decades ago resulted in millions of laid-off workers.
