The level of education and social involvement of women in the Republic of Moldova at the contemporary stage has reached high levels. The latest statistical data mention that women aged 25–64 have a higher level of education compared to men of the same age. The biggest difference in this age group is recorded for higher education: in 2021, 24.9% of women compared to 18.9% of men with university education were calculated. Although the share of women in the working population is lower compared to that of men (47.5% women and 52.5% men in 2021), the data show a high employment rate for women. Of course, the employment rate of women depends on several factors, including the presence of children in the family under the age of 16. Thus, in 2021, the employment rate of women aged 25–49 with at least 1 child under 16 was 48.3%, while for women without children, the employment rate reached 61.8%. However, influenced by traditional attitudes, women assume the main family care tasks, thus facing a busy activity regime that affects their well-being. In the present research, the factors and conditions that influence the well-being of contemporary women are analyzed. The study assesses women's life satisfaction in five areas: health, living environment, leisure activities, career satisfaction, and salary satisfaction. The review of publications that reflect studies carried out in recent years indicates that gender inequality in family life and at work is still maintained. Employed women are still oriented towards taking on all household chores. In social activities, women face various forms of explicit or implicit discrimination and gender inequalities, which significantly reduce their job satisfaction. However, contemporary women insist on improving their self-image, increasing their self-worth, considering that their well-being is determined by their own orientations, values and beliefs about their place and personal roles in society.
