Abstract
The article aims to characterize women’s subjective well-being (SWB), focusing on the territorial dimension in Lithuania and Poland. The problem is that the gender related SWB evaluations considering the urban and rural perspective is often overlooked or omitted from SWB assessments. European Social Survey (ESS) round 10 (2021) data were used for research. Descriptive statistics and comparison methods revealed that women’s SWB is evaluated differently in both countries. However, the assessment of happiness and satisfaction with life increased from a territorial point of view. The research results are important for scientific knowledge and local politicians to understand the SWB of women, especially those living in rural areas, and to provide appropriate measures to achieve higher well-being.
