Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate how well-being changes over the adult life course from early adulthood in 1998 through to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. We identify diverse well-being trajectories over time in a cohort of British Columbians and explore the extent to which changes in well-being associated with the pandemic varied for individuals in these different trajectory groups. Specifically, we ask: what was the effect of the pandemic on the well-being of individuals with different prior well-being trajectories over adulthood and how were these effects related to personal, educational and employment factors? To address this question, we model well-being trajectories over a large span of adulthood from the age of 28 to 51 years old. We find a diversity of distinct patterns in well-being changes over adulthood. The majority experience high well-being over time, while almost one in five experiences either chronically low or drastically decreased well-being in mid-adulthood, which coincides with the pandemic. Notably, those who have completed post-secondary education are less likely to report low well-being trajectories. Those with the lowest well-being over time also report the largest negative effects of the pandemic, which illustrates the compounding effects of the pandemic on existing inequalities.

在大流行时期绘制成年期福祉图表:纵向视角
本研究的目的是调查从1998年成年早期到2021年新冠肺炎大流行,幸福感在成年生活过程中的变化。我们在一组不列颠哥伦比亚人中确定了不同的幸福感轨迹,并探讨了这些不同轨迹组中个体与疫情相关的幸福感变化的程度。具体来说,我们要问:疫情对成年后有不同幸福轨迹的人的幸福感有什么影响,这些影响与个人、教育和就业因素有何关系?为了解决这个问题,我们对从28岁到51岁的成年期的幸福轨迹进行了建模。我们发现,成年后幸福感的变化模式多种多样。随着时间的推移,大多数人的幸福感很高,而几乎五分之一的人在成年中期的幸福感长期较低或急剧下降,这与疫情相吻合。值得注意的是,那些完成了中学后教育的人不太可能报告幸福感低下的轨迹。随着时间的推移,那些幸福感最低的人也报告了疫情的最大负面影响,这说明了疫情对现有不平等的复合影响。
