abstract: 'Purpose: The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hearing disability on employment rates; examine how various factors are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with employment; and identify workplace accommodations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
available to persons with hearing disabilities in Canada. Material and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methods: A population-based analysis was done using the data collected
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
through the 2017 Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD), representing 6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
million (n = 6 246 640) Canadians. A subset of the complete dataset was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
created focusing on individuals with a hearing disability (n = 1 334
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
520). Weighted descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were performed. Results: In 2017, the employment rates for working-age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adults with a hearing disability were 55\%. Excellent general health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status (OR: 3.37; 95\% CI: 2.29-4.96) and daily use of the internet (OR:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.70; 95\% CI: 1.78-4.10) had the highest positive effect on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment rates. The top three needed but least available
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
accommodations were communication aids (16\%), technical aids (19\%),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and accessible parking/elevator (21\%). Conclusion: Employment rates for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persons with a hearing disability are lower than the general population
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in Canada. Employment outcomes are closely associated with one''s general
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health and digital skills. Lack of certain workplace accommodations may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantage individuals with a hearing disability in their employment.'
