Abstract
This study delves into the relationship between spousal self-employment and life satisfaction, specifically emphasizing the potential moderating effects of the perceived significance of family, leisure, and work. Relationships where both partners are self-employed were also examined. Data from Wave 7 of the World Value Survey (2017–2022) gathered from respondents across 60 nations were analysed by running regression analysis. The results revealed that a high perceived value placed on family, leisure time, and work is associated with lower life satisfaction among spouse-self-employed individuals. Moreover, it was found that life satisfaction is significantly lower when both partners are self-employed. These insights present pivotal implications for policymakers and the self-employed community at large.
