چکیده
This review of the existing evidence on the impact of disability on labour market outcomes draws together the key themes in the literature and by considering a range of evidence provides a comprehensive overview of the significant negative effects disability has on both employment and earnings. Importantly, this paper is able to identify specific features of the disabled group that complicate their labour market analysis and, as such, examines the impact of different techniques and assumptions on the empirical results. In addition, recent evidence relating to significant changes in legislation affecting the disabled, such as the introduction of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the US and the Disability Discrimination Act in the UK, is considered.
