Economic Aspects of Self-Reported Work Disability Report, Columbus OH: Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, January 1983 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Disability; Disabled Workers; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Wages This paper examines the determinants of self-reported work disability in samples of older men and women stratified by race. Strong support is found for the hypothesis that economic factors as well as poor health influence the probability individuals report health limits in the amount or kind of work they do. In particular, lower expected wage rates significantly raise the probability of reporting work disablement, controlling for health status and health-related job requirements. The implications of these findings on estimating health and wage effects in labor supply studies are examined. Policy implications are also discussed. |
