The aim of this study was to find out the pattern of well-being in Kumauni males and females as affected by their employment level and age. 360 males and females in the age range of 30-60 years were considered and arranged according to requirement of 3x2x2 factorial design with their level of employment (High, middle and low) two levels of gender (male and female) and two level of chronological age (30-45 and 46-60) i.e., 30 Ss per cell. Swasti Mapani (Kakkar & Shukla, 2006) was used as the measure and it was used twice for measuring personal and social well-being. Data collection was done individually/in group and best attempts were made to avoid external distractions. Findings of the study indicate that level of employment showed its impact and it was found that the magnitude of well-being varied with variation in the level of employment. The magnitude of discrepancy of well-being was less influenced by age and gender but the pattern of personal and social well-being was almost the same.
