The subjective well-being of retired fishermen from the perspective of system-empowerment:an empirical study conducted in the Anhui region of the Yangtze River
The ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River is a crucial measure for implementing the policy of"joint fishing and protection,no large-scale development".Retired fishermen are the target population for resettlement and security measures in the Yangtze River.This study takes retired fishermen from the Anhui region of the Yangtze River as an example,utilizes rooted coding to identify factors influencing subjective well-being,and establishes an influential mechanism based on the"system-empowerment"framework.The findings are as follows:(1)social support and psychological capital are key factors affecting retired fishermen's subjective well-being,with psychological capital acting as an intermediary between social support and subjective well-being;(2)the influence mechanism of social support on subjective well-being consists of both a social support supply system and a perception system,operating at both systemic functional level and internal influence level.Resettlement and security efforts for retired fishermen represent long-term,challenging,and complex work that requires comprehensive consideration from external parties to reinforce social support systems while simultaneously enhancing internal endogenous abilities to improve psychological capital.This approach will facilitate smooth progress towards happiness among retired fishermen.
