abstract: 'This paper identifies for the first time, the separate causal impacts of

  both onsets of, and recoveries from, physical disability on both

  employment status and hours worked. Using panel data from Indonesia we

  find that more than half of working age adults in our sample experience

  a physical disability at least once in four waves over 16 years. Changes

  in physical functioning have no effect on hours worked among the

  employed. However, onsets of physical limitations lead to an increase in

  the probability of leaving employment, while recoveries increase the

  probability of returning to work. A larger effect is found among

  self-employed workers compared to salaried workers. Given the rising

  prevalence of physical limitations with age, physical disability may be

  a significant barrier to employment for older working age adults in

  Indonesia. These results overall point towards a need in Indonesia for

  policies that support maintaining work or returning to work for persons

  with physical disability. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
