Age, gender, locality, marital status, family structure, occupation and whether an individual is a working professional or a student were not related to the levels of life satisfaction of an individual. But during the lockdown, it was found that married people were more satisfied. An earlier study had suggested that young, married and those with large families were more satisfied (Edwards & Klemmack, 1973). Also, people who lived alone through the phase of lockdown, probably because they were stranded away from home, had lower levels of life satisfaction than the ones spending the lockdown with their families. A person’s level of education was related to life satisfaction, both, before and during the lockdown phase. Interestingly, annual family income was related to life satisfaction only during the lockdown. On further application of tests, it was seen that people with higher family incomes were more satisfied. The lockdown had put in a lot of problems for people to face, where there was less or no income as daily activities had been highly hampered. Those with lower income might not have had huge savings to live on satisfactorily and might have been very anxious as expenditures on food and shelter remained during the lockdown even when there was no stable income due to loss of work. This shows that in normal times, earning less money simply doesn’t imply lower levels of satisfaction, and income is not really an important dimension affecting one’s level of life satisfaction, but in times of an emergency like this pandemic has brought, the case is otherwise. Contradictions were seen as age, gender and income were considered significant in an earlier study (Toker, 2012). People who worked from home but had decreased working hours maybe because working from home doesn’t ideally support their work type, were less satisfied. Uncertainty if this work from home culture would let them retain their jobs for long might have been the reason. Change in working hours had not affected satisfaction of those working from the workplace. Those who had not been able to work at all because of the lockdown were the least satisfied.
