“…In Australia, 53% of people with a disability were employed in 2015 (5). Research suggests that people with disabilities disproportionality experience poorer quality working experiences (6), including being underemployed (7) and reporting unfair pay for the work they do (8). Workers with disabilities are more likely to exit into "not in the labour force" (NILF) and unemployment (9) than those without disabilities.…”

Do gender and psychosocial job stressors modify the relationship between disability and sickness absence: An investigation using 12 waves of a longitudinal cohort by Milner A, Aitken Z, Byars S, Butterworth P, Kavanagh A This study reports that workers with disabilities may be more likely to take sickness absence. Gender and job control are important considerations in understanding these absences. Modifying working conditions may therefore reduce the likelihood of workers with disabilities taking sickness absence.

“…While our analyses controlled for some of the established determinants of psychosocial working conditions (age, sex, education, skill level and employment arrangement) ( LaMontagne, Krnjacki, Kavanagh, & Bentley, 2013 ), we recognise that there may be other systematic differences between the two groups that our analysis has not accounted for and that more sophisticated modelling would be required to make causal attributions. Separate analyses are being pursued in this regard, such as a recent propensity score analysis showing an association between working with a disability and lower perceived fairness of pay ( Milner et al, 2015 ). Other limitations arise due to the nature of the sample.…”

ObjectivesThere is growing international policy interest in disability employment, yet there has been little investigation of job quality among people working with disability. This study uses Australian national data to compare the psychosocial job quality of people working with versus without disability.MethodsWe used 10 annual waves of data from a large representative Australian panel survey to estimate the proportion of the population experiencing poorer psychosocial job quality (overall and by individual ‘adversities’ of low job control, high demands, high insecurity, and low fairness of pay) by disability status and impairment type. We used logistic regression to examine the pooled cross-sectional associations between disability and job quality, adjusting for age, sex, education and job type.ResultsThose working with any disability showed approximately 25% higher odds of reporting one or more adversity at work (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.15, 1.31), and this finding was consistent across impairment types with the exception of intellectual/developmental disability. Estimates were largely unchanged after adjustments. Similar results were found for reporting two or more adversities compared one or more.ConclusionsWe observed that working people with a disability in Australia reported systematically poorer psychosocial job quality than those working without disability. These results suggest the need for further research to understand the reasons for these patterns, as well as policy and practice efforts to address this inequity.

“…Given the high level of discrimination and exclusion, young farmers with disabilities primarily derive their livelihood and well-being from subsistence agriculture and informal jobs such as collecting garbage, cleaning premises, casual labor at farms, and begging for alms in urban settings (DFID, 2014(DFID, , 2015. Most young people with disabilities engage in less gainful jobs and receive low pay compared to young farmers without disabilities (Milner et al, 2015). Thus, poverty and food insecurity characterize the daily life of young farmers with disabilities (Yeo, 2005).…”

Participation of young farmers with disabilities in agricultural capacity-building programs in their communities is important as a poverty reduction strategy for people with disabilities in Uganda. This research study comparatively examined participation of young farmers with and without disabilities in capacity-building programs designed for the public in Northern and Eastern Uganda. The study employed a comparative, mixed methodology, cross-sectional research designs involving 774 young farmers composed of 388 with disabilities and 386 who had no disabilities. The sample selection strategies involved the use of a stratified, and random sampling techniques. This research utilized an interviewer-administered paper survey in collecting data. Descriptive statistics and regression analyses were used in analysing quantitative data. The findings indicate that young farmers with disability and being contacted face-to-face were less likely to participate in community capacity-building programs. In contrast, Northern Uganda, those contacted in a group setting, application of sign language interpretation, being female, and having supportive training staff increased the chances of their participation in community capacity-building programs.
