There exists a significant difference between the life satisfaction of people with and without disabilities, to the disadvantage of the former. The present work investigates the association between environmental accessibility and life satisfaction by disability status. The environmental accessibility index is built based on the results of the 2012 Eurobarometer survey on accessibility, while empirical analyses are conducted using data from the EU-SILC 2013, which includes an ad hoc module on wellbeing. We test the following hypotheses using Blinder–Oaxaca decompositions: 1. Coeteris paribus, environmental accessibility is associated with a reduction of the difference between the life satisfaction of people without disabilities and people with disabilities; 2. The negative association of environmental accessibility with the difference in life satisfaction by disability status is greater in absolute value among women and people in the lowest income quartile. Both hypotheses are fully supported.

残疾人和非残疾人的生活满意度存在显着差异，这对前者不利。目前的工作调查了环境可达性与残疾状况的生活满意度之间的关联。环境可达性指数基于 2012 年 Eurobarometer 关于可达性调查的结果建立，而实证分析则使用 EU-SILC 2013 的数据进行，其中包括一个关于福祉的特别模块。我们使用 Blinder-Oaxaca 分解检验以下假设：1. Coeteris paribus，环境可达性与非残疾人和残疾人生活满意度差异的减少有关;2. 环境可达性与残疾状况的生活满意度差异的负相关在女性和最低收入四分之一的人群中的绝对值更大。这两个假设都得到完全支持。
