“…Fourth, several studies also looked at active labor market policies enhancing individuals' employability. While some studies focus on supply-side interventions targeting individuals (e.g., Campolieti, Gomez, & Gunderson, 2009), other studies look at demand-side interventions targeting employers. The latter often critique the sole focus on the supply-side in employability policies and question the agency idea emphasizing the individual's responsibility for employability enhancement (Forrier et al, 2018).…”

Employability, commonly conceptualized as one's ability to realize job opportunities within and between employers over time, has attracted considerable attention from diverse academic disciplines for decades. Research in these disciplines has largely evolved independent of the others, thus limiting the accumulation, validation, advancement, and utility of employability.Two central stakeholders in much of this research are employers and employees, yet the vast majority of studies since the year 2000 fails to explicitly consider this interdependence, and it instead is characterized by an overwhelming emphasis on the employee and individual agency. Conversely, the comparatively limited research examining the employer perspective often excludes consideration of the employee. Our review highlights these characteristics, along with outlining other common critical issues and recommendations for overcoming them. We also articulate how Social Exchange Theory (SET) can serve as an underlying mechanism to integrate research within and between disciplines, and we also present the strategic employability architecture (SEA) framework based on strategic human resource management to facilitate integration of employer and employee perspectives.

“…Bound and Burkhauser 1999;Haveman and Wolfe 2000;Campolieti 2004;Campolieti, Gomez and Gunderson, 2009), our study is the first to investigate the implication of disability benefits for the development and well-being of children. Our study also differs from many existing studies on welfare and child development by focusing on a vulnerable group of children who have thus far been largely ignored by economists (i.e.…”

Inter-generational effects of disability benefits: evidence from Canadian social assistance programs

2015

Individuals with disabilities face greater challenges in the labor market than able-bodied individuals and a growing body of research is finding that their children also tend to have more developmental problems than the children of able-bodied parents. Can transfer payments help reduce this gap? In this paper, we present the first evidence on how parental disability benefits affect the well-being of children. Using changes in real benefits under ten disability benefit programs in Canada as an identification strategy and Statistics Canada's National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) as the data source on child outcomes, we find strong evidence that higher benefits lead to improvements in children's cognitive and non-cognitive development, as measured by math scores in standardized tests, hyperactive symptoms and emotional anxiety behavior. The effect is larger on children with a disabled mother than on those with a disabled father. JEL Codes J1 J6 I38

This paper uses Canada's National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth to examine whether greater cash transfers available to parents with disabilities when their child was aged 5 to 15 increase the chances that the child will attend postsecondary education (PSE) as a young adult. We exploit differences across provinces and over time in the generosity of provincial disability benefits programs in Canada and find that higher disability benefits when the child was aged 5 to 15 years increase the probability that he or she will have attended or be attending PSE by age 19 to 25. The estimated effect size increases with the severity of the parental disability and the number of disabled parents. Because lower disability benefits significantly worsen performance of public school aged children on standardized math tests and elevate anxiety symptoms, one plausible pathway from disability benefit levels to PSE attendance may be through the cognitive and noncognitive skills children acquire by the age of 15. We conclude that the level of disability transfers available early in a child's life mitigates the impact of having a parent with a disability as a source of inequality of opportunity and of unequal probability of PSE participation.Résumé. Inégalités des chances et politique publique : conséquences des prestations d'invalidité des parents sur la fréquentation postsecondaire des enfants. En s'appuyant sur l'Enquête longitudinale nationale sur les enfants et les jeunes (ELNEJ) au Canada, cet article tente de déterminer si de meilleures prestations d'invalidité, versées aux parents handicapés entre le cinquième et le quinzième anniversaire de leurs enfants, augmentaient les chances de ces derniers de poursuivre des études postsecondaires en entrant dans l'âge adulte. Nous avons exploité les différences entre les provinces et dans le temps pour évaluer la générosité des programmes régionaux canadiens en matière de
