Project Summary:

Using the telephone-based longitudinal California Work and Health Survey (CWHS), the project will: Assess the factors affecting labor force participation and transitions into and out of employment among persons with and without disabilities; and describe the risk factors among the employed for poor labor market outcomes, including involuntary part-time employment, episodic employment, and employment that leaves individuals and their households with a poverty-level income. Eight hundred disabled persons will be added to the CWHS, permitting the study of transitions in employment among CWHS respondents with and without disabilities.
