However, religion can also serve as a source of social support through religious communities, offering assistance to individuals in dealing with socioeconomic challenges. This empirical study seeks to examine whether religious individuals are more resilient in facing unexpected life events. Nevertheless, the precise impact of such events on an individual’s satisfaction with their income, as well as the potential moderating influence of religious beliefs, remain unclear based on the extensive analysis conducted. This suggests the need for additional research to gain a better understanding of how religion and life shocks affect income satisfaction.Economic InsecurityGenderInequalityReligiontext::thesis::master thesisthesis:40439
