“Sense of gain” can not only accurately reflect the objective situation of citizens’ “gain” since the reform and opening up，but also be everyone’s subjective evaluation of the benefits of real life. This report is based on the sample survey data of the Sense of Gain Scale 2018 published jointly by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Intellvision，analyzing the quo of citizens’ sense of gain，and to explore the influence of subjective and objective social status of the sense of gain. The results showed that：（1） In general，citizens’ Need gaining，Involvement Gaining and Shared Gaining were higher，Support Gaining and Experience Gaining were lower. （2） Women have higher Need gaining and Shared Gaining than men，but men have higher Support Gaining and Involvement Gaining than women. The younger generation （post-90s and post-00s） have a higher sense of gain. Unmarried/single citizens have a higher sense of gain；citizens with urban residency in a foreign city and those without jobs scored lowest in terms of perceived gain and dimensions. （3） The objective social status affects the sense of gain，education，income，housing，and professional type in different influence results in different dimensions，especially the Need gaining and Experience Gaining. （4） Subjective social status affects the sense of gain，and there are significant differences between citizens with different subjective social status in the past，present and future in their overall sense of gain and their scores in all dimensions. Further regression analysis results show that after controlling for demographic variables and objective status indexes，subjective social status still has certain prediction effect to the sense of gain，but subjective social status of different time points and the impact of each dimension is different.
