abstract: 'Background: Health status is a crucial determinant of an individuals''
labour market outcomes. The present study investigates the association
between obesity and disability with perceived employment discrimination
within Australia.
Methods: A total of 17,174 person-year observations from the 11,079
respondents were analysed using four waves of data from the Household,
Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The primary
outcome examined was employment discrimination, using obesity and
disability as the main exposure variables. The longitudinal
random-effects regression technique was applied to investigate the
between-person differences in employment discrimination associated with
obesity and disability.
Results: The findings suggest that more than one in ten (12.68 \%)
Australians experienced employment discrimination. The odds of being
discriminated against while applying for a job were 1.56 times (aOR:
1.56, 95 \% CI: 1.15-2.11) higher for obese than their healthy weight
counterparts in youngest women. Adults with a disability had 1.89 times
(aOR: 1.89, 95 \% CI: 1.65-2.17) higher odds of being discriminated
against than peers without disability.
Conclusion: The results provide evidence that obesity and disability
contribute to employment discrimination in Australia. The findings can
assist government and related agencies to consider the adequacy of
existing discrimination legislation and help organisations to develop
appropriate policies to address discrimination against obese and
disabled people in their workplaces.'
