abstract: 'PurposeLabour market integration is a widely accepted strategy for
|
|
|
|
promoting the social and economic inclusion of persons with
|
|
|
|
disabilities. But what kinds of jobs do persons with disabilities obtain
|
|
|
|
following their integration into the labour market? In this study, we
|
|
|
|
use a novel survey of workers to describe and compare the employment
|
|
|
|
quality of persons with and without disabilities in Canada.MethodsWe
|
|
|
|
administered an online, cross-sectional survey to a heterogeneous sample
|
|
|
|
of workers in Canada (n = 2,794). We collected data on sixteen different
|
|
|
|
employment conditions (e.g., temporary contract, job security, flexible
|
|
|
|
work schedule, job lock, skill match, training opportunities, and union
|
|
|
|
membership). We used latent class cluster analysis to construct a novel
|
|
|
|
typology of employment quality describing four distinct `types'' of
|
|
|
|
employment: standard, portfolio, instrumental, and precarious. We
|
|
|
|
examined associations between disability status, disability type, and
|
|
|
|
employment quality.ResultsPersons with disabilities reported
|
|
|
|
consistently lower employment quality than their counterparts without
|
|
|
|
disabilities. Persons with disabilities were nearly twice as likely to
|
|
|
|
report low-quality employment in the form of either instrumental (i.e.,
|
|
|
|
secure but trapped) or precarious (i.e., insecure and unrewarding)
|
|
|
|
employment. This gap in employment quality was particularly pronounced
|
|
|
|
for those who reported living with both a physical and mental/cognitive
|
|
|
|
condition.ConclusionThere are widespread inequalities in the employment
|
|
|
|
quality of persons with and without disabilities in Canada. Policies and
|
|
|
|
programs aiming to improve the labour market situation of persons with
|
|
|
|
disabilities should emphasize the importance of high-quality employment
|
|
|
|
as a key facet of social and economic inclusion.'
