The results of the study indicated that, 2/3rd of the young adults, i.e. both among men and women had a high level of subjective well-being. On the other hand, very few (10%) of men and very no women were found in low level of subjective well-being. Further, the mean differences in subjective well-being, according to the age and gender indicated that, the age group 26-30 years had higher subjective well-being, than the other age groups. There were no significant differences in means of both men and women, in relation to total subjective well-being.
