Approximately one-third of the community's members rate their happiness as completely fulfilling
In the city of Syktyvkar, happiness levels among residents have been analysed, revealing some interesting trends. Among the residents, 30% are absolutely happy, while 48% are rather happy, adding up to a total of 78% of Syktyvkar residents who consider themselves happy to some extent. However, 6% of residents give a completely negative response, and 16% lean towards negativity.
The happiness levels among those working remotely and the unemployed stand out. There are more absolutely happy respondents among those working remotely than among those working on-site. Intriguingly, there are also more absolutely happy respondents among the unemployed than among those working on-site.
Age seems to play a role in happiness levels, with respondents aged 35 to 45 being more optimistic. One in three respondents in this age group is absolutely happy (33%), while among those without children, the share of completely happy respondents is 32%. Conversely, among those with higher education, the share of those who are definitely happy is lower than among those with secondary professional education (76% compared to 80%).
Interestingly, among parents, the proportion of those who are completely happy is higher compared to those without children.
Marital status also appears to influence happiness levels, with married residents being significantly happier than singles. 31% of married people are definitely happy, compared to 21% of singles.
Income level significantly influences life satisfaction. Among residents earning over 100,000 rubles a month, the share of those who are definitely happy is 35%. Among those earning less, it's 27%.
Gender differences are also noticeable. Among women, the proportion of those who consider themselves definitely happy is higher than among men. However, the frequency of happy persons among women and men employed in Syktyvkar who work from home is not publicly available or specified in known data sources.
Among respondents with higher education, the share of those who feel unhappy is potentially higher than among those with secondary professional education (22% and 16% respectively). Yet, it's worth noting that among those currently without work, the share of those who feel definitely unhappy is also higher.
In conclusion, happiness levels in Syktyvkar show a mix of positive and negative trends. While certain groups, such as remote workers, the unemployed, and parents, seem to experience higher levels of happiness, others, such as those with higher education and lower incomes, may face challenges in achieving the same level of satisfaction. Further research is needed to fully understand these trends and to develop policies that promote happiness and well-being for all Syktyvkar residents.
