摘要

目的残疾人(PwD)的就业率通常低于普通人群。本文旨在调查获得辅助技术(AT)是否会影响残疾人口的劳动力参与情况。研究利用了印度政府统计和计划执行部(MOSPI)于 2018 年通过多阶段抽样进行的具有全国代表性的印度残疾调查。研究结果研究发现,2017-2018 年,印度 15-65 岁年龄组残疾人口的劳动力参与率为 29%,而普通人口的劳动力参与率为 52%。在被建议购买辅助器具的残疾人受访者中,约有三分之二的人购买了辅助器具,这意味着获得辅助器具的机会有限。特别是在城市地区,随着获取辅助器具的机会增加,残疾人口的劳动力市场成果概率增加了 26.6%。实践意义需要解决缺乏足够的便利设施、识字率低和缺乏职业技能等持续存在的问题,以改善农村地区残疾人口的劳动力市场成果。原创性/价值尽管辅助器具在促进分配公正和包容性发展方面发挥着作用,但有关获取辅助器具方面的公平差距及其对劳动力市场成果影响的研究却很少。本文是第一份提供实证证据,说明在中低收入国家,获取辅助器具对劳动力市场成果的影响的论文。

Does access to assistive technologies enhance labour force participation amongst the disabled population? Evidence from India

Purpose

Persons with disabilities (PwD) are generally less likely to be employed than the general population. The paper aims to investigate whether access to assistive technologies (AT) impacts labour force participation in the disabled population.

Design/methodology/approach

The study utilises the nationally representative survey on disability in India conducted in 2018 through multi-stage sampling by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MOSPI), Government of India. The instrumental variable (IV) approach has been employed to infer causality between AT and labour market participation.

Findings

The study found that the labour force participation rate (LFPR) in India amongst the disabled population was 29% in the age group of 15–65 years in 2017–2018, as compared to 52% in the general population. Around two-thirds of the PwD respondents who were advised to acquire aid appliances acquired them, implying limited access to AT. The probability of LFPR in disabled population increases by 26.6% with access to AT particularly in urban areas.

Practical implications

Persistent issues such as lack of adequate amenities, poor literacy and a lack of vocational skills need to be addressed to improve labour market outcomes for the disabled population in rural areas.

Originality/value

Despite its role in promoting distributive justice and inclusive development, research on equity gaps in access to AT and its impact on labour market outcomes is scant. This is the first paper that provides empirical evidence on the impact of access to AT on LFPR in the context of low- and middle-income countries.
