Sociodemographic characteristics and probabilities for the labor inclusion of people with disabilities in Chile. Implications for critical social policies

Abstract: In Chile, labor inclusion for people in the situation of disability is low. By using the Second National Survey of Disability in Chile and running a logistic regression model (N=2,618), this study explores how sex, education, age, and level of functional dependency are associated with the probability of people in the situation of disability of having work. Findings suggest that being a woman with a disability or being older reduces the probability of having work. Besides, having more years of education increases the probability of it. Implications for critical social policies are also discussed.
