Research Brief: The Role of Tasks and Skills in Explaining the Disability Pay Gap

A disparity in pay exists between workers with and without disabilities. This gap persists even in analyses that control for a variety of factors and incorporate compensation benefits other than wages and salaries. To better understand the underlying sources of these differences, occupation-level data on employee skill and task requirements are considered. Evaluating the earnings gap with this additional information provides insights regarding the economic returns to certain workplace tasks and skills that may contribute to the earnings gap that we observe for people with disabilities

Research Brief: Job-Mobility for People with Disabilities: Impact of Employer-Paid Health Insurance

As most employers appear to make decisions to offer EHI from an economic perspective, research has yet to demonstrate how such decisions could potentially contribute to higher turnover rates as indicated by job-mobility of workers, especially among employees with disabilities. This research brief describes the results from the analysis of large national survey data examining the relationship between employer-paid health insurance and the likelihood of job-change for people with and without disabilities

2010 Progress Report on the Economic Well-Being of Working-Age People with Disabilities

This progress report on the prevalence rate, employment, poverty, and household income of working-age people with disabilities (ages 21-64) uses data from the 2010 and earlier Current Population Surveys – Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS-ASES, a.k.a.

The CPS is the only data set that provides continuously-defined yearly information on the working-age population with disabilities since 1981

En voldsom maktbalanse? : en studie av relativ makt og forekomst av partnervold

Studien undersøker sammenhengen mellom partneres relative maktforhold og utøvelse av partnervold. Maktbalansen i parforholdene defineres gjennom partneres relative utdannings- og inntektsnivå. Jeg skiller mellom tre typer partnervold: fysisk makt- eller voldsbruk, psykisk vold og både fysisk og psykisk vold. Studien viser at partneres maktforhold har liten betydning for hvorvidt det utøves utelukkende fysisk vold. Derimot øker risikoen for å utsettes for utelukkende psykisk vold hvis egen inntekt eller utdanning overstiger partners. Relativ makt har betydning for kvinners, men ikke for menns erfaringer med både fysisk og psykisk partnervold. Kvinner med høyere inntekt eller utdanning enn partner har en forhøyet risiko for å utsettes for denne typen partnervold
