“…Men stress economic aspects of work while women regard psychosocial aspects of work as more important [12]. Women more often have monotonous work tasks -a factor that may ultimately lead to a higher risk of being classified as a person with a disability, and in addition women earn lower wages [1,15,32,33]. Together, these studies indicate that having a disability and being a woman implies a double disadvantage on the labor market [2,3,20,25,26].…”

BACKGROUND: More knowledge is needed of occupational attainment of persons with disabilities, i.e. the relationship between their educational level and their profession, and factors of importance for this relationship. OBJECTIVE: To compare occupational attainment among persons with and without a disability. METHOD: 3396 informants with disabilities and 19004 non-disabled informants participated (control group) in a survey study by Statistics Sweden. The informants with disabilities were divided into six groups. RESULTS: Occupational attainment did not differ between the disability groups, neither between persons with and without a disability. Follow-up analysis showed that men with disabilities with primary or secondary school had an occupation above their educational level to a significantly larger extent than women with disabilities. This pattern was even clearer in comparison with the control group. Persons without disabilities, with secondary or higher education, were more successful in the labor market than persons with disabilities. Occupational attainment increased with age in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Young women with disabilities who only have primary or secondary education run a higher risk of having a job that is below their educational level than men at the same educational level. This indicates discriminating mechanisms in the society related to gender and ability.

“…Males had a higher likelihood to have employment opportunities than females. Many studies have described how the dynamics of the labour market tend to work in the favour of disabled men as compared to their female counterparts (Andrén, 2001; Boman et al, 2015; Einerhand & van der Stelt, 2005; Gellerstedt & Danermark, 2004; Randolph & Andersen, 2004; Rissén, 2006; Tideman, 2000). For example, Randolph and Andersen (2004), in their study on disability, gender, and unemployment relationships in the United States from the behavioral risk factor surveillance system reported that unemployment was 11.7% for men, and 25.1% for women.…”

The present study investigated the influence of disability types and socio-demographic status of people living with disabilities on employment opportunities. The study also examined how the career aspirations of people living with disabilities could impact the relationship between the variables in our first objectives. A descriptive survey was used to elicit data from 600 people living with disabilities in six Nigerian states. A logistic regression analysis revealed that having the communicative-vision type of disability, having no educational qualification, being a woman, not belonging to the privileged ethnic group, being middle-aged and having only numeracy skill without oral communication and literacy skills all affected negatively the chances of employment among people living with disabilities. Except for ethnic groups, career aspirations mediated the influence of disability types, gender, age, education and basic skills on employment opportunities. The implications of the findings were thereafter discussed.

“…personal hygiene), vary according to sex or gender, influencing an individual's career path and physical and psychological health outcomes (Boman et al, 2015;Gellerstedt & Danermark, 2004). For example, women more often than men, are assigned repetitive and monotonous tasks placing them more at risk of chronic pain (Rissén, 2006). In fact, several studies have shown that men and women cannot physically undertake work in the same way (Courville et al, 1991;Laberge et al, 2012;Messing, 2009;Messing et al, 2003).…”
