This motive of this essay is to understand the concept of subjective wellbeing and
social wellbeing. These two concepts play an important role in the entire trip of an individual.

adapt the positive behaviour and develop a good wellbeing. Wellbeing and subjective
wellbeing are different from each other as wellbeing directly deals directly with checking if a
person is satisfied by their life. The emotions are used analyse the satisfaction of their life.
Subjective wellbeing deals with directly asking an individual about their job satisfaction
(Skevington and Böhnke, 2018). Thus various policies are implemented to deal with the
heath, social inclusion, learning as well as social inclusion of an individual. The well-being of
an individual is dependent on four factors that know the actual meaning of their life,
relatedness, happiness and overall satisfaction.
Subjective well-being is helpful as keeps the track the entire journey of a person’s
life. Subjective well- being helps in knowing the happiness of a person by checking its stress

Thus various programs and events are planned in an organisation so that happy factor could
be increased in one’s life. The social wellbeing covers the development of an individual in
terms of intellectual as well as physical. Social wellbeing is important as it helps in
developing positive habits by coping up good habits.
The entire lifespan keep social and subjective well-being correlated. They related the
meaning of life with the structure they are living in. The wellbeing of a person can be
analysed at any stage from childhood to adulthood. The meaning of life also changes at every
