| Description |
This study investigates the relationship between socio-economic conditions and life satisfaction of people on an island in the eastern region of Thailand. The data was collected by questionnaire using the random sampling method. The sample was analyzed in two groups, the working and retired generations. Average life satisfaction score is 3.16 for all samples, 3.15 for the working generation, and 3.17 for the retired generation. We used the ordered probit estimation method to analyze the data in order to find factors that affect people’s life satisfaction. The result shows that age, gender, household size, water use, drinking and smoking habit, job status, asset, community and basic needs factors, and living areas influence life satisfaction. This study also found factors affecting life satisfaction are different between the working generation and the retired generation. It suggests that policies should be specified for the working generation and the retired generation.
