Labor market trends, not personal factors, better explain employment for women with disabilities. While the service industry grew opportunities, jobs often lack security and benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Sociology
  • Labor Economics
  • Disability Studies

Background:

  • Employment for women with disabilities has lagged behind general labor force participation.
  • Traditional explanations focused on supply-side factors like willingness to work or medical needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze employment trends for women with disabilities over the past two decades.
  • To compare the explanatory power of labor market trends versus supply-based factors.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal analysis of employment data for women with disabilities.
  • Comparative analysis of labor market trends and individual-level factors.

Main Results:

  • General labor market trends, particularly the growth of the service industry, are stronger predictors of employment for women with disabilities than supply-based factors.

  • The service industry has increased labor force participation for this group, but often in precarious roles.

    • Conclusions:

    • Shifting economic structures, like the expansion of the service sector, significantly impact disability employment.
    • Policy and support systems need to address the quality of employment (job security, pay, benefits) for women with disabilities, not just access.
