| Resumo: | The life satisfaction of workers is measured by objective and subjective indicators, the latter not always considered by the governments of the countries. The objectives of this research were to analyze the relationship between the perception of having money, free time, health and a peaceful old age with the life satisfaction of informal and formal workers; and to compare the perception of the aforementioned variables, according to the type of worker (informal and formal). The methodological approach was correlational-exploratory, with surveys of 200 workers. The variables correlated as expected for the total sample, that is, positively and significantly between money, free time, health and old age with life satisfaction. When correlations are made by type of workers, the results are different. Through the application of Student's t test, no significant differences were found between the two types of workers, as expected by the political and economic area of Chile, believing that a formal worker and with objective welfare conditions, could present greater satisfaction with life, even in one item of the scale, informal workers have a higher perception. These results contribute to the science of subjective wellbeing and reaffirm its postulates on this side of the world. |
