“…The results of this study also confirmed that, regardless of disability type, ICT utilization tends to increase the life satisfaction of people with disabilities ( p < .01). In addition, we found that income was associated with the life satisfaction of people with physical disabilities (b = 0.152, p < .01) and brain lesion disabilities (b = 0.345, p < .01), which is consistent with the findings of previous studies (Kim & Han, 2022; Lin & Cheng, 2019; Nicolaisen, Strand, & Thorsen, 2020). However, income was not found to be associated with the life satisfaction of people with visual disabilities and hearing/language disabilities ( p > .05).…”

Using a nationally representative sample in Korea, this study examined the association of information and communication technology (ICT) utilization level and the life satisfaction of people with disabilities and the variations by disability type. Data were obtained from the second wave of the 2021 Survey on the Digital Divide, administered by the Korean National Information Society Agency (N = 2200 persons with disabilities). Study findings reveal that ICT utilization level has a significant association with the life satisfaction of people with disabilities, regardless of the disability type. In addition, the level of disability was related to the life satisfaction of people with physical disabilities only, while income was associated with the life satisfaction of people with physical disabilities and brain lesion disabilities. Based upon these results, this study discussed practical and policy implications for people with disabilities, particularly focusing on the methods to increase to increase the level of ICT utilization.

“…To this end, males are more likely to have higher SWB than females. While Lai et al (2021) failed to find an employment effect on SWB, several other studies reported that unemployed consumers had less life satisfaction relative to consumers in other employment categories (Charles et al, 2019; Crocker & Padilla, 2016; Kim & Han, 2022). This is because unemployment might preclude the maintenance of a good standard of living which could result in lower SWB.…”

“…In light of the above, Charles et al (2019), Kim and Han (2022), Li et al (2022) and You and Choi (2021) have tested the asset effects theory which posits that asset holding has a positive effect on the perceived satisfaction of life. Consistent with the theoretical predictions, consumers with higher asset endowments were reported to have higher SWB, hence the following hypothesis:Hypothesis Increase in asset holding among consumers increases SWB.…”

“…Charles et al (2019) reported that house ownership increased British consumers' SWB though this was more pronounced among self‐employed females. Kim and Han (2022) and You and Choi (2021) reported that house ownership was associated with higher SWB in South Korea whereas Li et al (2022) reported that car ownership was associated with higher SWB. In China, Lai et al (2021) reported that home ownership had a higher positive impact on the life satisfaction of urban migrants aged 38 and above.…”

“…The age‐SWB relationship lacks consensus since Kim and Han (2022) reported an inverted U‐shaped relationship between age and SWB whereas Charles et al (2019) found a U‐shaped age‐SWB relationship. By contrast, other studies failed to find a statistically significant impact of age on SWB (Brown & Gray, 2016; Lai et al, 2021).…”

Asset accumulation, financial inclusion and subjective well‐being: The role of financial formality in South Africa's households

Asset building and financial inclusion programmes have contributed to the enhancement of consumers' welfare through asset accumulation. Employing the FinScope consumer survey for South Africa, we extended the analysis of the relationship between financial inclusion and asset holding by examining whether this, in turn, improves consumers' subjective well‐being (SWB). Financial inclusion was captured by credit, savings, and insurance whereas multiple correspondence analysis was employed to compute an asset index that captured indicators of individual material possessions. Results from the partial least squares path model suggested that financial inclusion had an indirect positive association with consumers' SWB through increased asset holding, but the association was more pronounced via formal channels of saving, credit, and insurance. As such, social policymakers are encouraged to integrate access to insurance, credit, and savings through formal channels in poverty interventions since this has a greater indirect association with consumers' SWB via increased asset ownership.

PurposeThis research aims to find which components of Decent Work are associated with Subjective Well-Being.Design/methodology/approachWith data from 2021 from the states of Mexico, econometric models are carried out.FindingsIt is found that disposable income and satisfaction with leisure time have a significant positive relationship with employees' Subjective Well-Being. Likewise, the rate of critical occupancy conditions and informality rate have a significant negative relationship with Subjective Well-Being. The research suggests that influencing the Decent Work conditions of the population in Mexico could favour their Subjective Well-Being.Social implicationsShare guidelines that enable employers and governments to establish strategies and policies that promote Decent Work to increase the Subjective Well-being of employees.Originality/valueThis article evaluates different variables that make up the Decent Work construct in their level of influence on Subjective Well-being. These relationships and variables considered have not been identified in previous studies as a whole.
