Abstract
In the article the authors defined the health as the most important source for social adaptation for workers in changing society. This analysis has been based on the data from Russian recurring survey of population wellbeing and health conducted from 1994 to 2018 and the research conducted at the production plants in 5 cities of Russia from 2003 to 2020. In the first part of article there was demonstrated that some growth of people self-ratings for health situation has been revealed within rather long period of time. However since 2016–2018 this trend changed the direction and self-ratings have been going down both for men and women. The major share of workers considers their health situation as average (not good, not bad). In addition, the female self-ratings are lower than for male since 2000s and continue to decrease. At the same time there is some growth of value of health among other values of life. The article compares real time use in dependency of self-rating for health condition, its gender difference and direction in actual adaptation via utilizing of time for different activities. It was found out that despite the men more than women experience tension from lack of adaptation resources in the sphere of job (paid work) and household activities, their behavior does not prove existence of this tension in reality. In the sphere of recovery for physical force there can be admitted some signs of antagonism between need for full and complete rest and need for adaptation to external requirements in reality.
Keywords:
