abstract: 'There has been limited theoretical and empirical research into the role
|
|
|
|
of workplace accommodations in enabling workers with and without
|
|
|
|
impairments to remain in work. This study used the International
|
|
|
|
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model to
|
|
|
|
examine (a) whether workplace accommodations enable workers,
|
|
|
|
particularly those with different impairments, to remain economically
|
|
|
|
active; and (b) the predictors of the onset of work accommodations. Data
|
|
|
|
from two waves of a large-scale longitudinal survey of disability in
|
|
|
|
Great Britain, the Life Opportunities Survey (2009-2012) were analysed.
|
|
|
|
2307 workers with an impairment and 4308 workers without an impairment
|
|
|
|
were followed up for a year. Work accommodations appear to enable
|
|
|
|
workers with impairments to remain economically active, especially those
|
|
|
|
with mental impairments. There was no difference in the employment rates
|
|
|
|
of workers with and without mental impairments who had two or more work
|
|
|
|
accommodations, in contrast to the 10\% employment gap between workers
|
|
|
|
with and without mental impairments who did not have any work
|
|
|
|
accommodations. While there was no gender difference in the disability
|
|
|
|
employment gap, barriers to employment related to caregiving were much
|
|
|
|
greater for women compared to men. Moreover, only workers with incident
|
|
|
|
pain impairments were associated with an increase in their work
|
|
|
|
accommodations, not workers with incident mental impairments. Despite
|
|
|
|
the evidence that workers with mental impairments could benefit
|
|
|
|
considerably from workplace accommodations, they are less likely to have
|
|
|
|
their workplace adjusted. The ICF model is particularly useful in
|
|
|
|
analysing the role of work accommodations because it considers a much
|
|
|
|
wider range of factors that are relevant not just to workers with
|
|
|
|
different types of impairments, but are also relevant to the wider group
|
|
|
|
of workers who use workplace accommodations.'
