DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor over two decades, the employment rate of individuals with disabilities has declined nationally. This period of decline, which occurred between 1980 and 2002, includes within its boundaries two landmark federal statutes, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act. This research addressed five research questions that sought to find the interactions of those selected labor market factors that were likely to have had an impact on the employment rate of individuals with disabilities at a state level. The relationship between state and federal minimum wages and the employment rates of individuals with and without disabilities was analyzed using a time series procedure. The relationship between wages and the application rates to the benefits programs of the Social Security Administration were analyzed in a second time series model. The third analysis added the state and federal ADA and FMLA legislation to the time series model to determine how these factors affected the employment rates of individuals with disabilities over and above the effects of minimum wages. The results indicated that while minimum wages affect both individuals with and without disabilities, the relationship was stronger for the non-disabled. No significant relationship was found between minimum wages and benefit application rates. The state and federal ADA and FMLA were significantly related to the decline in employment rates in the time period. The effects of the FMLA appear to have been more significant than the effects of the ADA. Using a sample of 20 states, selected based on high and low employment rate variability, the groups were compared based on industry composition, population profiles, tax revenues, and spending on rehabilitation programs. The most significant predictors of employment rate stability were the percentage of the states' population with a disability, percentage of jobs in the government sector, per capita taxes, per capita spending, and the number of disability related state statutes. The outcomes of these investigations provide insight into not only how these labor market factors have affected the employment rates of individuals with disabilities, but also how that relationship has changed over time.

The book explains how to achieve recognition for this evolving field of study, how to set priorities, and how to improve the organization and administration of the numerous federal research programs in this area. The committee introduces the "enabling-disability process" model, which enhances the concepts of disability and rehabilitation, and reviews what is known and what research priorities are emerging in the areas of: Pathology and impairment, including differences between children and adults. Functional limitationsâ€"in a person's ability to eat or walk, for example. Disability as the interaction between a person's pathologies, impairments, and functional limitations and the surrounding physical and social environments.

It is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary and issues-based series, which incorporates links from varied fields making up Disability Studies as volumes examine topics central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. With a balance of history, theory, research, and application, specialists set out the findings and implications of research and practice for others whose current or future work involves the care and/or study of those with disabilities, as well as for the disabled themselves. The presentational style (concise and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the field as a whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis chapter assesses how gender and disability status intersect to shape employment and earnings outcomes for working-age adults in the United States. The research pools five years of data from the 2010-2015 Current Population Survey to compare employment and earnings outcomes for men and women with different types of physical and cognitive disabilities to those who specifically report work-limiting disabilities. The findings show that people with different types of limitations, including those not specific to work, experienced large disparities in employment and earnings and these outcomes also varied for men and women. The multiplicative effects of gender and disability on labor market outcomes led to a hierarchy of disadvantage where women with cognitive or multiple disabilities experienced the lowest employment rates and earnings levels. However, within groups, disability presented the strongest negative effects for men, which created a smaller gender wage gap among people with disabilities. This chapter provides quantitative evidence for the multiplicative effects of gender and disability status on employment and earnings. It further extends an intersectional framework by highlighting the gendered aspects of the ways in which different disabilities shape labor market inequalities. Considering multiple intersecting statuses demonstrates how the interaction between disability type and gender produce distinct labor market outcomes.
