Summary/Abstract This study investigates the impact of digital financial inclusion (DFI) on the subjective well-being of China's older population, specifically examining the effects on depression, life satisfaction, and self-reported health status. Drawing on data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), our research reveals that the advancement of DFI has a significant positive impact on reducing symptoms of depression and improving the self-reported health status of elderly individuals. Furthermore, our analysis of heterogeneity indicates that these welfare improvements are more pronounced in rural areas compared to urban areas and among the non-multidimensional poverty (non-MP) group rather than the multidimensional poverty (MP) group. Moreover, we find that the impact of DFI on depression is more immediate, while its influence on self-rated health takes longer to manifest. These findings collectively suggest that enhancing digital finance can effectively improve subjective well-being, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly population, individuals facing multidimensional poverty, and those residing in rural areas. The immediate relief of depression and the gradual improvement in self-reported health highlight the policy implications of leveraging digital finance to enhance subjective well-being.
