abstract: 'The present study used propensity score analysis to compare the economic
|
|
|
|
well-being of people with and without hearing impairment in the UK.
|
|
|
|
Using nationally representative 2009/10 Life Opportunities Survey, our
|
|
|
|
study found that economic well-being was significantly worse for people
|
|
|
|
with hearing impairment than people without hearing impairment. Hearing
|
|
|
|
impaired people (1) had lower household income, (2) experienced greater
|
|
|
|
difficulties making ends meets, (3) were unable to pay for unexpected
|
|
|
|
but necessary expenses of 500, and (4) were less likely to work in paid
|
|
|
|
jobs even after accounting for other demographic characteristics. The
|
|
|
|
findings underscore the barriers and discrimination against people with
|
|
|
|
hearing impairment in the UK. Policy measures to increase access and
|
|
|
|
engagement of hearing impaired people should be considered, including
|
|
|
|
increasing investment in better employment opportunities, sign
|
|
|
|
interpretation, and disability benefits.'
