Summary: This study investigates the main drivers of subjective well-being in Spain, finding that material conditions have a significant impact on happiness. Social connections, housing, and health status are also identified as important drivers. Interestingly, although women score lower on material conditions and quality of life variables, they experience higher levels of subjective well-being.

Summary: Well-being is recognized as a fundamental human goal and aspiration, but research shows that family well-being may be valued more than personal well-being across different cultural contexts. This suggests that policymakers and scientists may need to prioritize family well-being more in their work.

Summary: The study found that during COVID-19, veterinary and academic professionals faced increased psychosocial work demands, leading to decreased health and well-being, especially in terms of quantitative demands, burnout, stress, and depressive symptoms. Females and caregivers were more likely to experience increased work demands and decreased health and well-being compared to males and non-caregivers.

Summary: This study examines gender differences in the impact of work transitions on subjective well-being, using UK Household Longitudinal Study data from 2009 to 2016. Men tend to experience larger shifts in well-being compared to women, especially when transitioning into unemployment. The gender gap widens among married couples, indicating potential influence of social norms or gender roles.

Summary: The progressive flexibility of labour relations is not always seen as an opportunity by workers, but rather as a growing sense of precariousness. This is particularly true in Italy, where the labour market has been characterized by rigidity. This paper aims to analyze the differential health status across Italian territories in relation to individual working histories, and uncover the causal effects behind these differences.

Summary: This study analyzes data from 33 European countries and finds that factors such as arrears of people aged 65 and over are positively correlated with life satisfaction, while income of people aged 65 and over is negatively correlated. Environmental issues and inequality show different relationships with life satisfaction at different levels of satisfaction.

Summary: This study aims to provide empirical evidence of the positive effects of exposure to inclusive language on the well-being of trans employees. The results show strong and positive associations between various indicators of exposure to inclusive language at work and the well-being of trans employees. These relationships remain significant even when accounting for other workplace control variables, indicating that fostering inclusive language can have substantial positive effects on the sense of belonging and inclusion of trans individuals.

Summary: COVID-19-related regulations have had an impact on the economy and people's well-being, bringing attention to the issue of inequality. This research examined how restrictive policies, such as lockdowns and social distancing, affected well-being. It found that financial loss, the number of children at home, and the intensity of measures were associated with higher stress. Support for restrictions was lower among those experiencing financial loss and having more children at home, as well as those who accessed COVID-19-related information less frequently and did not self-isolate. Men were generally less supportive of restrictions than women, and support was negatively related to the number of new COVID-19 cases. Lower stress and higher support for restrictions were positively associated with life satisfaction.

Summary: The study found that life satisfaction decreases after retirement for individuals aged 50 and above, but agency-freedom is positively affected. There is no significant difference in overall well-being between partial and full retirement, retiring before or after the normal age, or retiring simultaneously with a partner. However, retirement can be a relief for individuals in low-quality jobs.

Summary: This study examines the effect of different types of ex post idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) on work-life balance and work well-being, with a focus on the mediating effect of work-life balance and the moderating effect of gender in the hospitality industry. The survey of 642 hotel managers in China's developed cities and analysis using structural equation modeling reveal that task, career, and incentives i-deals significantly promote work-life balance, indirectly improving work well-being. However, flexibility i-deals have no significant impact. Career and incentives i-deals have a slightly stronger influence on work-life balance for males compared to females.

Summary: The trend of the feminization of the aging population in China is accelerating, and the differences in the subjective well-being of older adults are becoming more and more obvious. Learning has a positive effect on the subjective well-being of older adults, with significant gender differences, as the subjective well-being of female older learners is more influenced by learning engagement.

Summary: This study systematically evaluated the prospective associations between exposure to physical, psychological, and gender-based violence and health among healthcare, social care, and education workers. The findings suggest a consistent link between psychological violence and poor mental health and sickness absence, as well as between physical violence and poor mental health in human service workers. There is a need for more research focusing on objective outcomes, improved exposure assessment, and gender-based violence.

Summary: The study found no significant association between job demands and later low back pain, but job demands were associated with later major depression. About 37% of this association was attributed to interaction between job demands and low back pain in the SLOSH cohort. Low back pain partly mediated the relationship between job demands and major depression.

Summary: This study investigated the association between workplace violence and sleep disturbances. Results showed a potential link between onset of workplace violence and subsequent sleep disturbances, but the significance was lost after further adjustments. Further research is needed to explore the impact of other working conditions on this association.

Summary: The study shows that retiring from paid work is associated with dramatic reductions in sleep difficulties and improvements in sleep quality in the short-term. The reductions in sleep difficulties at retirement were sudden and sustained for up to 11 years, with retirees experiencing the greatest pre-retirement sleep difficulties benefiting most from retiring. Job demands, work time control, job control, and working full-time were factors influencing membership in these groups. B-spline models were found to more accurately estimate time around retirement compared to polynomials.

Summary: This study explored the exposure to ICT demands in managers and other occupational groups, finding that managers, especially in the fields of healthcare, other community services, and education, have the highest prevalence of ICT demands. Targeted actions to improve the digitalized work environment among managers are necessary.
