Micro-entrepreneurship and subjective well-being: Evidence from rural Bangladesh
Summary. Microcredit-enabled entrepreneurship in rural Bangladesh reduces overall life satisfaction indirectly by increasing worry, despite having no direct negative effects. Female micro-borrowers report higher satisfaction with financial security and life achievement. Borrowers with more assets also experience greater satisfaction with financial security. The findings suggest microcredit's well-being impacts are complex and vary by gender and asset levels.
