Book Synopsis Disability and the Displaced Worker by : Edward H. Yelin
Download or read book Disability and the Displaced Worker written by Edward H. Yelin and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the employment of persons with disabilities has taken center stage in policy debates. The passage of the ADA could not have come at a more propitious time: the employment situation of persons with disabilities, particularly older workers, has been worsening dramatically for over two decades. In the traditional view, this worsening employment necessarily follows the aging of the population, which puts more of us at risk for chronic disease and impairment. Yelin does not agree with that view, nor with the alternative view that disability compensation programs entice persons with minimal disabilities to leave the work force by providing them with a secure income. In this controversial new book, Yelin dispels both these views and argues that the welfare state is not to be blamed for the growth in work disability. Rather, Yelin maintains that the growing work disability problem is due to the decline of manufacturing employment, which drove older workers with disabilities out of the labor force as part of a "first-fired" phenomenon. He links disability to changes in all forms of work that made secure full-time employment with a wide range of benefits a thing of the past. Yelin argues that work disability policy and industrial policy must be joined to create a heightened demand for older workers generally and older workers with disabilities in particular. When employers create work environments flexible enough to accommodate people with disabilities, they enjoy the benefits of an exceptionally skilled, able work force - and the economies of a smaller welfare system. Paradoxically, the products of flexible manufacturing have been very successful in the marketplace, demonstrating that what is good for workers with disabilities is also good for all workers and for the economy as a whole.
Book Synopsis Are Workers with Disabilities More Likely to Be Displaced? by : Sophie Mitra
Download or read book Are Workers with Disabilities More Likely to Be Displaced? written by Sophie Mitra and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on employment and disability has been relatively silent regarding the job loss experience of persons with disabilities. We document the gap in job displacement rates across disability status in the United States over the 2007-2013 period using data from the 2010, 2012 and 2014 Displaced Worker Supplements of the Current Population Survey. We find that men and women with disabilities are, respectively, 75 and 89% more likely to experience an involuntary job loss than men and women without disabilities in the United States over the 2007-2013 period, with gaps in displacement rates of eight and seven percentage points for men and women, respectively. A significant gap is found in most occupation-education subsamples. Using a logit decomposition, we find that differences in observable characteristics do not explain the gap in the job loss rate across disability status. Longitudinal tests following workers over a one-year period point to a causal effect of disability on the likelihood of displacement. While the disability gap may be due to unobservable characteristics, job mismatch and employer discrimination are also possible explanations, highlighting the potential importance of employer and public policies in improving the job security of workers with disabilities.

Book Synopsis The Long-Term Impact of Disability, Employment, and Marital Status Shocks by : Owen Haaga
Download or read book The Long-Term Impact of Disability, Employment, and Marital Status Shocks written by Owen Haaga and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People face a wide range of risks throughout their lifetime that can disrupt employment, reduce earnings, derail retirement planning, and impair economic well-being later in life. This paper measures the impact of health, employment, and marital status shocks on lifetime earnings. Using household survey data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation matched to administrative earnings records, we compared lifetime earnings for people who developed a health problem that limited the type or amount of work they could do, were laid off from their job, or became widowed, divorced, or separated with those who did not experience these shocks.The paper found that:-Employment shocks are fairly common, and disability shocks become much more common as people age. About one in five workers is laid off from their job over a four-year period, even when the job market is robust. About one in seven men and one in six women develop a work-limiting disability in their early 50s.-People who eventually develop disabilities or lose their jobs generally have lower lifetime earnings even before these shocks occur than people who do not experience these shocks.-Health and employment shocks have substantial and long-lasting impacts on earnings. Relative lifetime earnings rank falls by 5 percentile points a decade and a half after disability onset and by 3 percentile points a decade and a half after job loss. The policy implications of the findings are:-Strong safety nets are essential for people who experience health problems and job losses during their working years.-Increased investment in workforce development programs, including retraining of displaced workers, might raise lifetime earnings for workers who have experienced job layoffs.

An electronic version of this book is also available under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND) license, thanks to the support of the Wellcome Trust. The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in an industry that was vital to Britain’s economic growth. Although it is commonly assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments from the workforce, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. This book explores the working lives of disabled miners and analyses the medical, welfare and community responses to disablement in the coalfields. It shows how disability affected industrial relations and shaped the class identity of mineworkers. The book will appeal to students and academics interested in disability, occupational health and social history.

Book Synopsis Disabled People, Work and Welfare by : Grover, Chris
Download or read book Disabled People, Work and Welfare written by Grover, Chris and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to challenge the idea that paid work should be seen as an essential means to independence and self-determination for the disabled. Writing in the wake of attempts in many countries to increase the employment rates of disabled people, the contributors show how such efforts have led to an overall erosion of financial support for the disabled and increasing stigmatization of those who are not able to work. Drawing on sociology and philosophy, and mounting a powerful case for the rights of the disabled, the book will be essential for activists, scholars, and policy makers.
Book Synopsis Twenty-Two Cents an Hour by : Doug Crandell
Download or read book Twenty-Two Cents an Hour written by Doug Crandell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Twenty-Two Cents an Hour, Doug Crandell uncovers the harsh reality of people with disabilities in the United States who are forced to work in unethical conditions for subminimum wages with little or no opportunity to advocate for themselves, while wealthy CEOs grow even wealthier as a direct result. As recently as 2016, the United States Congress enacted bipartisan legislation which continued to allow workers with disabilities to legally be paid far lower than the federal minimum wage. Drawing on ongoing federal Department of Justice lawsuits, the horrifying story of Henry's Turkey Farm in Iowa, and more, Crandell shows the history of the policies that have led to these unjust outcomes, examines who benefits from this legislation, and asks important questions about the rise of a disability industrial complex. Exposing this complex—which is rooted in profit, lobbying, and playing on the emotions of workers' parents and families, as well as the public—Crandell challenges readers to reexamine how we treat some of our most vulnerable fellow citizens. Twenty-Two Cents an Hour forces the reader to face the reality of this exploitation, and builds the framework needed for reform.
