abstract: 'Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has posed considerable challenges for
people''s health, work situations and life satisfaction. This article
reports on a study of the relationship between self-reported health and
life satisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway, and
examines the role of work in explaining the health-life satisfaction
relationship.
Method: The study was based on survey data collected from 3185 Norwegian
employees in 2019 and 3002 employees in 2020. Propensity score matching
techniques were used to assess the mediating effects of work situations
and income loss on the health-life satisfaction relationship. Skew-t
regression models were further applied to estimate changes in life
satisfaction before and during the pandemic, as well as to explore
different underlying mechanisms for the health-life satisfaction
association.
Results: The study found a negative association between ill health and
life satisfaction. Compared to the healthy population, people with poor
health were more likely to experience worsened work situations. A
negative work situation is further associated with lower life
satisfaction, and the pandemic aggravated life satisfaction for those
who had worsened work situations. When exploring central contributing
factors for life satisfaction, we found that health-related risks and
work-life balance played predominant roles in predicting life
satisfaction before the pandemic, while different types of household
structure were among the most important predictors of life satisfaction
during the pandemic.
Conclusion: A reduction in life satisfaction is explained by ill health,
but different underlying mechanisms facilitated people''s life
satisfaction before and during the pandemic. While work situation and
health risks were important predictors for life satisfaction in 2019,
worries about more unstable work situations and less access to family
support accentuated worsened life satisfaction in 2020. The findings
suggest the necessity of labour market interventions that address the
security and maintenance of proper and predictable work situations,
especially in these more uncertain times.'
