Sense of gain is a comprehensive response of people’s subjective cognition and emotional experience of the process and results of meeting their needs，in the process of social reform and development. It has become a new indicator that reflects the sharing of social development achievements and the improvement of people’s quality of life. Understanding the current people’s sense of gain is a prerequisite for the rapid and healthy development of society and the gradual realization of common prosperity. Based on the sampling survey data of the China Social Mentality Survey （2019，2020），this report analyzes the current situation of people’s sense of gain and related influencing factors，from five levels of overall sense of gain：gaining experience，gaining environment，gaining content，gaining access and gaining sharing. The results show that：① In 2020，people’s sense of gain was generally good，with relatively high scores on gaining sharing and gaining access，and relatively low scores on gaining content and gaining experience. ② Compared with 2019，the overall sense of gain of the people in 2020 decreased，and the scores on gaining access and gaining sharing decreased significantly. ③ People’s sense of gain is different in basic demographic variables such as gender，age，education level，income level，occupation type and household registration type，and the influence of these demographic variables on sense of gain has shown different characteristics in the past two years. Men’s 2020 scores in content gain and access are significantly higher than women’s；compared with other age groups，the younger generation’s sense of gain score in 2019 is higher，but the score in 2020 is relatively lower.
