“…Previous studies in the United Kingdom (UK) and United States (US) have found labour force participation rates for people with disability are less than half the rate of participation for those without disability (Hale, Hayghe, & McNeil, 1998;Jones & Latreille, 2007;Kidd, Sloane, & Ferko, 2000;Roulstone & Warren, 2006). Significant literature highlights the fact that unemployment is detrimental to wellbeing, as is evidenced through reduced access to financial resources and decreased ability to meet psychological needs such as meaningful activity and social contact (Creed & Muller, 2006;Creed, Muller, & Machin, 2001;Fryer, 1986;Jahoda, 1982;Paul, Geithner, & Moser, 2009), with additional studies linking unemployment to both poor physical (Broom et al, 2006) and mental health (Murphy & Athanasou, 1999;Turner & Turner, 2004). People with disability earn significantly less compared to those without disability (Jones, 2008), and experience more underemployment.…”
