Abstract
Improving the financial well-being of people with disabilities is a pressing concern, given the documented lower levels of financial well-being among this population compared to the general population. Limited research, however, offers effective strategies for improving their financial well-being. This study investigates how financial knowledge and family financial socialization can be combined to enhance the financial well-being of people with disabilities. Using data from the 2016 National Financial Well-Being Survey, we employ multivariate analyses and propensity score matching techniques to test the robustness of our results and ensure our population comprised a nationally representative sample of people with disabilities. Our findings show that people with disabilities experience lower levels of financial well-being compared to those without disabilities. Furthermore, we find that self-assessed financial knowledge and financial socialization within the family context are positively associated with the financial well-being of people with disabilities. These findings have important implications for researchers and financial service professionals who work with people with disabilities. This study emphasizes the importance of tailoring financial education to the specific needs of people with disabilities and prioritizing financial education and financial socialization within the family context as critical mechanisms for enhancing their financial well-being.
