Abstract
Present study is an attempt to study the differences between adult males on life satisfaction. Sample of the study consist 540 persons from villages of Haryana. Sample is further divided between three categories of migrant labours, below poverty line people and people who earn moderately of above poverty line persons (180 each). Age range of the whole sample is between 22 to 45 years. The life satisfaction scale constructed by Alam and Srivastava was used here. Results suggest that there are significant differences between different groups on life satisfaction. The mean scores clearly reveal that the migrant labours scored lower on life satisfaction followed by participants who were below poverty line. Relatively participants above poverty line evinced more life satisfaction, and it is very much understood because financial aspects determine the life satisfaction very much.
