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.'
