Oh, boy; that's a big question.
I think one of the tricks with addressing the poverty of people with disabilities, and addressing their labour-market participation, is around acknowledging the fact that labour market participation for people with disabilities exists sort of on a spectrum. We think about this in terms of eligibility for benefit programs.
The question of whether or not you can work is the wrong question to be asking. It's not an on/off switch, right? There are folks who are able to work on an intermittent basis. Folks with episodic disabilities can work one week and not another week. The experience of disability is not just about your medical condition: it's about the ways in which society, and our infrastructure and our expectations, are structured to create barriers for people's participation.
When trying to understanding labour market participation for people with disabilities, there needs to be a nuanced approach to that issue, I think.
