This article compares the labour market participation of people with and without a disability using SLID.
With its six-year observation period, SLID provides the years people report limitations and how their participation in the labour force is affected as the number increases. It is also possible to examine labour force participation during the years of disability as well as during the years without disability. Because persons with a disability are more likely to have low employment income, their earnings and social benefits are also examined.
