Abstract

A dynamic labour force participation model is used to estimate the impact of disability shocks on labour force participation using a longitudinal sample drawn from the National Population Health Survey. Findings suggest that state dependence play a crucial role in how temporary disabilities can have long lasting employment effects. A disability shock that last only one period is shown to lower labour force participation up to 3 additional periods. Findings are in support of policies that promote greater labour force attachment for individuals with disabilities
