“…The age limit of 20–35 years excludes most of those who acquired their disability after graduating and those who developed a reduced work capacity as a result of old age. Normally, persons under the age of 20 have not yet made the transition from education to working life (Dag and Kullberg, 2010: 289). At the same time, disabled persons older than 35, who have not yet entered the labour market, are likely to remain outside the labour market (Achterberg et al, 2009: 130).…”

To what extent does higher education promote labour market participation for disabled people in school-to-work transitions and early career trajectories? This article argues that the effect of higher education on labour market outcomes for disabled people must be studied in correlation to gender. Intersectional theory warns against the generalisability of the female and male experiences, and predicts that disability may influence sexism, and that gender may influence disableism. Norwegian full-population register data on recipients of disability benefits are used to explore the effect of higher education on three labour market outcomes for men and women with disabilities. Contrary to common intersectionality expectations, the results show that men experience more extreme employment disadvantages related to their disabilities than women. Higher education has a stronger effect on participation for disabled women than for disabled men. However, gender differences in participation are smaller for people with disabilities than for the general population.

“…In another study, McAfee and McNaughton (1997) found that employees with disabilities had moderate levels of overall job satisfaction, strong dissatisfaction with payments and promotions, and high satisfaction with co-workers and supervision. Dag and Kullberg (2010) reported that both the disabled Sweden men and women attach great psychosocial value to work by showing a high level of job satisfaction.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the attitudes of disabled employees toward availability of work facilities, treatment of other employees, and the working conditions in the Jordanian public sector. Design/methodology/approach – A purposive sample of disabled public sector employees (198) was selected to participate in the study by filling the designated questionnaire. Findings – Disabled employees reported a relatively moderate level of satisfaction about the availability of facilities. Also, participants are satisfied with the treatment of their supervisors and colleagues and of the working conditions. Disabled female participants and those who hold graduate degrees reported high-satisfaction level about the treatment they receive from their colleagues at work. The findings also showed that 55 percent of the participants were hired based on humanitarian bases as a result of their disability cases compared with 45 percent who were hired based on their qualifications and merits. Practical implications – This research significantly contributes to the scarce knowledge that currently exists in the position of disabled employees in the Arab world. Policy makers and human resource managers should develop a clear strategy to provide the facilities for disabled people to accommodate at work. In addition, they should provide professional guidance and rehabilitation training programs aiming to enhance disabled employees’ participation and involvement in the labor market. Originality/value – The study is one of the first to investigate the status of disabled public sector employees in Jordan and in the Arab world.

“…Women more frequently experience problems at work, such as lack of enthusiasm and poorer health status [9]. Men stress economic aspects of work while women regard psychosocial aspects of work as more important [12]. Women more often have monotonous work tasks -a factor that may ultimately lead to a higher risk of being classified as a person with a disability, and in addition women earn lower wages [1,15,32,33].…”

BACKGROUND: More knowledge is needed of occupational attainment of persons with disabilities, i.e. the relationship between their educational level and their profession, and factors of importance for this relationship. OBJECTIVE: To compare occupational attainment among persons with and without a disability. METHOD: 3396 informants with disabilities and 19004 non-disabled informants participated (control group) in a survey study by Statistics Sweden. The informants with disabilities were divided into six groups. RESULTS: Occupational attainment did not differ between the disability groups, neither between persons with and without a disability. Follow-up analysis showed that men with disabilities with primary or secondary school had an occupation above their educational level to a significantly larger extent than women with disabilities. This pattern was even clearer in comparison with the control group. Persons without disabilities, with secondary or higher education, were more successful in the labor market than persons with disabilities. Occupational attainment increased with age in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Young women with disabilities who only have primary or secondary education run a higher risk of having a job that is below their educational level than men at the same educational level. This indicates discriminating mechanisms in the society related to gender and ability.
