Abstract

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic affected working-age people and influenced the subjective assessment of population well-being. The study of this problem can help to develop regional and state programs of socio-economic development. Aim. The paper aims to investigate satisfaction with life among working-age people during the pandemic. Materials and methods. The study was conducted between December, 2020 and March, 2021. 142 working-age residents of the Ural Federal District, including 82 women (57.7%) and 60 men (42.3%) aged from 24 to 65 years, took part in the study. The subjective well-being of working-age people during the pandemic was chosen as the subject of the study. The study was conducted in three stages: satisfaction with life survey, measuring the impact of the pandemic on various spheres of life, identifying the correlations between the impact of the pandemic and the subjective well-being of working-age people. The following methods were used: Satisfaction with Life Scale (by E. Diener as modified by D.A. Leontiev and E.N. Osina), a socio-demographic questionnaire, which also contains the questions on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on various spheres of life. The results obtained were processed with the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results. The examination revealed that the pandemic affected both satisfaction with reality and the achievement of life goals among working-age people. A greater impact of COVID-19 was recorded for the professional success and social life of respondents, and the lesser one for their personal life. Conclusion. The correlations between satisfaction with life and the impact of the pandemic on various spheres of life were found. The higher the respondents assessment of the danger of COVID-19, the greater their desire to change something in their life.
