“…Validity of measures for social identity/position variables was rarely discussed, though some studies explicitly used proxy measures for those of stated interest (e.g., benefits recipients for people with disabilities ( Ballo, 2020 )). While most studies included a measure of race or ethnicity and sex or gender, the multidimensionality of these constructs was often unacknowledged.…”

Background Intersectionality is a theoretical framework rooted in the premise that human experience is jointly shaped by multiple social positions (e.g. race, gender), and cannot be adequately understood by considering social positions independently. Used widely in qualitative studies, its uptake in quantitative research has been more recent. Objectives To characterize quantitative research applications of intersectionality from 1989 to mid-2020, to evaluate basic integration of theoretical frameworks, and to identify innovative methods that could be applied to health research. Methods Adhering to PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed articles indexed within Scopus, Medline, ProQuest Political Science and Public Administration, and PsycINFO. Original English-language quantitative or mixed-methods research or methods papers that explicitly applied intersectionality theoretical frameworks were included. Experimental studies on perception/stereotyping and measures development or validation studies were excluded. We extracted data related to publication, study design, quantitative methods, and application of intersectionality. Results 707 articles (671 applied studies, 25 methods-only papers, 11 methods plus application) met inclusion criteria. Articles were published in journals across a range of disciplines, most commonly psychology, sociology, and medical/life sciences; 40.8% studied a health-related outcome. Results supported concerns among intersectionality scholars that core theoretical tenets are often lost or misinterpreted in quantitative research; about one in four applied articles (26.9%) failed to define intersectionality, while one in six (17.5%) included intersectional position components not reflective of social power. Quantitative methods were simplistic (most often regression with interactions, cross-classified variables, or stratification) and were often misapplied or misinterpreted. Several novel methods were identified. Conclusions Intersectionality is frequently misunderstood when bridging theory into quantitative methodology. Further work is required to (1) ensure researchers understand key features that define quantitative intersectionality analyses, (2) improve reporting practices for intersectional analyses, and (3) develop and adapt quantitative methods.

“…In general, having employment is considered to be important for a person's identity and social status [12,52]. One explanation for our results could be that persons without university education often have physically demanding duties [53,54] and, less opportunity for adaptations or modified duties at the workplace [53,55]. Furthermore, it has been found in previous research that high education contributes to knowledge and understanding about health-related factors including healthier behaviours which supports people to take healthier decisions in their everyday lives, including working life [56].…”

Background: Chronic pain is a major and complex health condition associated with reduced work performance. A multimodal rehabilitation programme (MMRP) is a common intervention for chronic pain conditions, the goal being for the person to maintain or return to work. Aim: To investigate the multivariate relationships between health-related quality of life, life interference, pain, physiological factors before MMRP and full-time sick leave 1 year after MMRP. Material and Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Quality Registry for Pain Rehabilitation. The study included 284 participants. Separate analyses were performed for women, men and three age groups. Results: There were correlations between sick leave, physical functioning, pain duration, healthrelated quality of life, and self-assessed importance of work before MMRP and sick leave 1 year after MMRP. The patterns of factors associated with full-time sick leave varied for women, men and age groups. Conclusions: These findings indicate that full-time sick leave for patients with chronic pain is affected by a number of interacting factors. Occupational therapy interventions aiming to develop activity skills in relation to work roles and enable patients to develop skills required to manage the physical, psychological and social demands to return to work or maintain work could be valuable to increase the possibility of attaining a sustainable work situation.

“…Developed by disability organisations in the UK as of the 1970s (Union of the Physically Impaired against Discrimination (UPIAS), 1976), the social model introduced a paradigm shift: while disability had previously been understood mainly in medical, individual terms (having an impairment), the social model pointed to the role of social and environmental obstacles in the production of disability (Oliver, 1990). Subsequent critiques of this perspective insisted on the need to reintroduce the role of impairments in the analysis, leading to the formulation of alternative interactive or bio-psycho-social approaches (Ballo, 2020; Shakespeare, 2013).…”

Disabled People Working in the Disability Sector: Occupational Segregation or Personal Fulfilment?

Disabled people face many forms of exclusion on the labour market. To what extent is work in the disability sector a manifestation of this exclusion or a solution to it? Defined here as working for a disability organisation or specialising in disability in one’s occupation, work in the disability sector represents an under-documented aspect of the employment experiences of disabled people. This article uses it as a point of departure to theoretically and methodologically operationalise Carol Thomas’s social relational approach of disability to the study of employment. Drawing on biographical interviews conducted in France with people with either mobility or visual impairments, this study shows the ambivalent nature of work in the disability sector, which is diversely experienced as a form of occupational segregation or a means of self-fulfilment.
