Researchers agree that the employment rate for working-aged people with disabilities declined during the 1990s. What they don't agree on is the main cause for this decline. Some cite the increasing severity of disabilities while others argue that the easing of eligibility standards and increases in the relative benefits of Social Security disability programs (SSI and SSDI) are to blame. Still others argue that the passage and implementation of the ADA offers a rationale for the decline. This book swings open the doors on this debate. It presents the latest research on the employment woes of the working-aged population with disabilities in a way that is accessible not only to researchers, but to policymakers, advocacy groups, and grass-roots disability communities.

From the Author
"Given the robust economic expansion of the 1990s and the promise of greater independence that is embodied in the ADA, this decline in both employment and its importance for household income might reasonably be considered a disaster for the working-aged population with disabilities. Hence, it is not surprising that this decline in measured employment has generated a major debate, represented in this book, over the quality of the numbers produced by current data sets and, if credible, the causes for this unprecedented decline."
