abstract: 'Purpose There is a critical need for gender-specific vocational supports
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for young adults with disabilities as they transition to employment. We
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conducted a systematic review to explore the role of gender in securing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and maintaining employment. Methods Systematic searches of seven
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
databases identified 48 studies meeting our inclusion criteria. Using a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
narrative synthesis approach, these studies were analyzed in terms of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the characteristics of the participants, methodology, results, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quality of the evidence. Results Among the 48 studies, 112,473
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
participants (56\% male), mean age (of the total sample) was 21,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
represented across ten countries. Twenty-one studies reported that young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men with disabilities had better employment outcomes than women with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities. Eight studies showed that females with disabilities had
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
better employment outcomes than males. Five studies reported that there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were no gender differences in employment outcomes for youth with various
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities. With regards to maintaining employment, men with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disabilities often work more hours and have better wages compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women with disabilities. There are several gender-related barriers and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
facilitators to maintaining employment including social supports and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender role expectations. Conclusions Our findings highlight that there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a critical need for gender-specific vocational supports for young
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adults with disabilities.'
