The relationship between financial distress and well-being: Exploring the role of self-employment
研究发现，财务困境与幸福感呈负相关，且这种关联在自雇者中比在受薪雇员中更强，即自雇者面临财务问题时幸福感下降更严重。
This article investigate the relationship between financial distress, well-being and employment status. Using several indicators of financial distress and of well-being, our econometric analysis shows that the negative association between financial distress and well-being is moderated by employment status in the sense that financial problems are more strongly associated with poor well-being for the self-employed compared to the wage-employed. Hence, when self-employed workers find themselves in a situation of financial distress, the negative consequences for their well-being are more severe. This is found to hold both for the self-employed with and without employees.
