Subjective Well-Being of Youth: A Sociological Analysis

This study is devoted to the study of the subjective wellbeing of youth in modern society. It emphasizes that the pursuit of wellbeing is a key factor in the development of society. It is noted that youth, as a social group, is in the process of actively forming life goals, values, and a sense of personal satisfaction, which makes the analysis of their subjective perception of wellbeing particularly relevant. The study examines various approaches to the concept of subjective wellbeing, with its research lying at the intersection of several disciplines: social psychology, sociology, economics, philosophy and juvenility. The study is based on empirical data collected through a questionnaire survey (n = 148) conducted in the autumn of 2024 in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) among young people. The survey revealed key trends and features of how youth assess their position in society, which influence their level of subjective wellbeing.
