Abstract:
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) not only exacerbated existing disparities in employment, but also exposed various challenges faced by people with disabilities whose identities intersected with other underserved populations (i.e., race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+ status, poverty status, geography). The purpose of this scoping review was to map the available academic and popular literature published between 2020 and 2022 to better understand employment experiences among multiply marginalized individuals with disabilities during the pandemic. Seventeen studies covering these individuals and employment content were reviewed. Several themes emerged from the analysis including (a) barriers to employment, (b) disparate employment experiences, (c) exacerbation of economic disparities, and (d) marginalization of people with disabilities from employment science and literature. We recommend that vocational rehabilitation service providers engage in continuous educational opportunities that strengthen their understanding of intersectionality and impacts that multiple social identities may have on employment. Additional research is warranted to provide more detailed information about intersectional employment experiences and disparities post-COVID-19.
