This study aimed to measure the socio-demographic factors of happiness among young adults in Iran. A national cross-sectional study measures socio-demographic factors of happiness among a representative sample of young adults (20-39 years). The mean happiness score in all 13,173 samples was 4.09 out of 6. The results obtained from multiple logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between happiness, age, education, occupation, and income. In contrast, the association between happiness, gender, and the place of living was insignificant. Separate analyses for men and women showed that age, education, occupation, and income still stayed significant for men, but for women, only education, and income were significant. The results of the path analysis indicated that income was a predictor for happiness (ß = ± 0.09). However, the model explained about 1.5% of the variance observed (R = 0.015). The findings were indicated that low income and unemployment make people feel unhappy. Indeed, improving economic situation and occupation status might be an effective measure to improve happiness among young adults.
本研究旨在衡量伊朗年轻人幸福的社会人口学因素。一项全国性横断面研究对具有代表性的年轻成年人样本（20 - 39岁）的幸福社会人口学因素进行了测量。在所有13173个样本中，幸福得分的平均值为6分制中的4.09分。多元逻辑回归分析的结果显示，幸福与年龄、教育程度、职业和收入之间存在显著关联。相比之下，幸福与性别及居住地点之间的关联不显著。对男性和女性的单独分析表明，年龄、教育程度、职业和收入对男性仍具有显著性，但对女性而言，只有教育程度和收入具有显著性。路径分析结果表明，收入是幸福的一个预测因素（β = ± 0.09）。然而，该模型仅解释了约1.5%的观察方差（R = 0.015）。研究结果表明，低收入和失业会让人感到不幸福。事实上，改善经济状况和职业地位可能是提高年轻人幸福感的有效措施。
