Abstract

Middle age is one of the most important periods of human life as it is the time of transitions in terms of family responsibilities, physical health, social interests and hobbies, etc. People in this stage want to enjoy the success in personal and professional lives. Their life satisfaction is derived from family and social life and also the relative success of their children in their academics or career. Most of mid-adults now a day enjoy relatively good health and stabilized finances. This can be an opportunity for the individuals to pursue their own interests and get more life satisfaction. As far middle age is concerned job, socialization, marriage, family is the contributing factors for life satisfaction in them. Although as people move towards mid-age they lose things such as mental sharpness and looks, but they also gain what people spend their lives pursuing, that is happiness. Happiness and life satisfaction leads to Subjective well- being which involves the subjective evaluation of an individual’s current status in the world. Studies in this regard indicate that both happiness and life satisfaction increase during middle age which in turn contribute to subjective wellbeing of an individual. The objective of the study is to see the gender difference in all the three variables and also the relationship between happiness, life satisfaction and subjective wellbeing. Sample for the study consisted of 60 mid adults from urban area.
