Despite the existence of a large volume literature on subjective well being (SWB) of the general population, very few studies have focused on individuals with disabilities. The present study uses data on 24,036 canadians with disabilities to investigate factors affecting their SWB. It found that SWB, measured here by level of happiness, decrease with severity of disability but is independent of the type of physical disability. Those born with a disabiltiy are likely to be happier as compared to those disabled later on in life. Per capita family income has no effect on happines. However unemployment decreases happiness. Hapiness is found to be U shaped in age, bottoming out around 40 years of age. Some of these results vary when the sample is split according to the timing, type of severity of disability.
