摘要

The present study explores the moderating role of social capital between disability and happiness for men and women. The added value of the paper is not only in theoretical contribution on the interplay of gender, disability, social capital and happiness but also in the empirical testing of the effects for society with low gender and income inequalities such as the UAE. Grounding on the theory of capabilities the research tests hypotheses on moderating effects of social capital on happiness for disabled men and women. Nationally representative cross-sectional survey data of 2017, collected from 9,855 respondents via face-to-face mode, is used for empirical analysis. The findings disclosed disability as a significant strong negative predictor of happiness even stronger for men. Social capital also strongly predicts happiness increasing the scores in case of supportive and rewarding social relations. However, social relations do not mitigate the negative impact of disability on happiness.
