| dc.description.abstract | In this era, since the role of women has expanded throughout the
past, every country in the world demonstrates a greater interest to
discover the social and economic position of women. Though much
progress has been made in society to bring women to a stage, still it
is not fully achieved. In most cases, women have to spend their entire
lives with less pleasure or happiness, and with much stress and
tension. This will lead to lower the women's life satisfaction and it
has an inverse effect on the development and stability of any
economy. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors which
influence the life satisfaction of women. The study used primary data
and 200 women were selected from three GN Divisions in
Balangoda DS Division, which represent urban, rural and estate
sector through cluster sampling and convenience sampling
methods, using an already developed structured questionnaire.
Binary Logistic Regression model was utilized as the main
analysing technique. Results revealed that the overall life
satisfaction was predicted by current health status, living sector,
education level and being a member of community society. All the
significant factors showed a positive relationship with life
satisfaction. Implications of the findings and recommendations are
offered. | en_US |
