Individuals with a work-limitating disability self-reported lower levels of life satisfaction. Consistent with previous studies, the authors find a negative relationship between disability status and subjective well-being. Employment status, income, and wealth, mitigates this negative relationship, but disability still emerges as a salient determinant of subjective well-being throughout the analysis. %B Lifecycle Events and Their Consequences: Job Loss, Family Change, and Declines in Health %I Stanford University Press %C Stanford, CA %P 280-300 %G eng %4 disabilities/prognosis/Subjective well-being/Life satisfaction/Life satisfaction/Employment/income/work limitation %$ 999999 %!
