The most dismal families are said to be those that either struggle to get ends meet with less than 1500 yuans a month (less than 200 usd), or earn a monthly income of more than 15,000 yuans.

The study also reveals that the people living in the outskirts of the capital seem more satisfied with their lives comparing to those in the urban areas.
