Research unveils key to happiness for a young adult

Source of happiness may be differently defined by different people. Some may gain happiness from monetary factors, whereas spending time in nature may be enough to make some one else happy.

Now even a research has been conducted, which states that having good health and living with a partner could be the main source of happiness for young people. This interesting revelation was made by the researchers from the Department of Sociology in the University of Bristol.

Women having a good home life were observed to be happier with life. In fact, it was also found that having a university degree could hamper the level of satisfaction felt at work, as compared to those men who didn’t have a degree.

Certain factors that were said to influence the happiness of men seemed to outweigh the level of happiness felt in women. These included factors like job security and the influence of education on how men feel about their job. In contrast to this, income was found to be a crucial factor in determining job satisfaction, which was common to both men and women.

These findings have made another astounding suggestion that living with a partner and having an over all sense of control over life may overshadow or balance the threat of job security or unemployment in these young adults.
