“…Similarly, in a related study for females, Baldwin and Johnson (1995) find that wage discrimination accounts for less than one percentage point of the twenty six percentage point gap in employment. Using the same methodology UK studies such as Kidd et al (2000) also find this effect to be small in magnitude. Unlike these studies, both Blackaby et al (1999) and Kidd et al (2000) find that about half of the difference in employment probability in the UK is explained by differences in observable characteristics the remainder being due to discrimination.…”

Abstract:This paper examines the effect of disability on labour force participation using the Cameroon 2007 Household Survey. Statistical and econometric tests indicate that disability represents a barrier to employment in the Cameroon labour market. For instance, disability status reduces men's probability of getting into the labour market by 0.8% for the public sector, 0.05% for the formal private sector and by 2.9% for the informal sector. Other noteworthy results are the fact that women face greater constraints in entering the labour market and investments in general and specific human capital increase the probability of getting a job in the Cameroon.

“…Por otra parte, el modo en que el tipo y la severidad de la discapacidad influyen en la ocupación laboral también se ha explorado en la literatura. En este sentido, aquellos con enfermedades cardiovasculares, musculo-esqueléticas y respiratorias, aquellos que padecen enfermedades de tipo mental y aquellos que presentan múltiples limitaciones presentan menores opciones de ocupación que otras personas discapacitadas (Hum y Simpson 1996;Blackaby et al 1999;Kidd et al 2000;Zwerling et al 2002;Wilkins 2004;Jones et al 2006). La severidad de la discapacidad, independientemente de su tipo, también afecta negativamente a las tasas de empleo (Hale et al 1998;Berthoud 2003;Jones 2011).…”

“…The low rate of employment among disabled employees and the wage gap between workers in good health and workers having any form of impairment made the literature to focus on the impact of disability on work participation, type of employment and earnings (for the UK see: Bardasi et al (2000); Blackaby et al (1999); Kidd et al (2000); Jenkins and Rigg (2003); Madden (2004), while for the US see: Acemoglu and Angrist (2001); Baldwin and Johnson (1994; Haveman et al (1991); Kruse and Schur (2003)) In general, all these pieces of work conclude that disability has a negative effect both on employment and on wages. Pelkowski and Berger (2004) find that temporary health problems have no significant effects on earnings.…”
