Abstract

The influence of subjective health and life satisfaction among disabled individuals is unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of food and recreation expenditure on subjective health and life satisfaction among disabled individuals in Korea. Data from the Panel Survey of Employment for the Disabled from 2016–2018 was utilized. Econometric analyses, least squares, fixed effect, and random affect models were applied. Results showed that monthly food and recreation cost exerted an inverted U-shaped impact on both subjective health and life satisfaction. These findings have policy implications showing a relationship between social and economic variables and health outcomes. This study also sheds light on the literature by clarifying the relationship among four attributes employing the disabled.
