abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is to quantify the labor market
outcomes of people with disabilities (PwD) in Indonesia and compares
them to people without disabilities. It first studies the labor force
participation of PwD before examining the large and persistent wage gaps
they face. It explores whether these wage gaps are explained by
differences in productivity, a distinction which has important
implications for policies addressing these gaps.
Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on the Indonesian
Family Life Survey Wave 5, which includes unique questions allowing for
several definitions of disability. Multinomial logistic regression is
used to study differences in type of employment for PwD. Wage gaps are
estimated and corrected for selection using propensity score matching,
supported by a Heckman selection model and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition.
Comparisons with other physically disadvantaged subgroups and the
analysis of heterogeneity by job requirements and sector of work explore
whether productivity gaps help explain wage gaps. Findings PwD generally
have lower unconditional labor force participation, but disparities
largely disappear when controlling for characteristics. Moreover,
patterns vary depending on whether the measure of disability used
depends on prior medical diagnosis. PwD that do not require prior
diagnosis tend to work in more vulnerable employment. When they are
employed for wages, people with these types of disabilities face lower
wages, up to 22\% lower. Meanwhile, (surprisingly) those with medically
diagnosed conditions face no difference or a wage premium. This paper
finds compelling evidence that, where a wage penalty exists, a
substantial part is unexplained by observable characteristics.
Originality/value Previous literature on disability has been mostly
based on studies of high-income economies. This paper extends the
literature to Indonesia, which differs from high-income contexts due to
lack of mental healthcare resources and assistive technologies, as well
as weaker rule of law. It provides unique insights based on types of
disability and the salient dimensions of disability in the workplace. It
also provides evidence that productivity differences do not explain the
wage gap.'
