Benefits For The Disabled: How Beneficial For Women?, Elizabeth Ann Kutza
Benefits For The Disabled: How Beneficial For Women?, Elizabeth Ann Kutza
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The social and economic consequence of disability is of increasing interest in American society today. The numbers of persons reporting disabling conditions is rising, as is the number of persons qualifying for public disability benefits. This article examines the impact of current United States disability policy on disabled women, and concludes that the major programs - disability insurance, supplemental security income, workers' compensation, vocational rehabilitation - because of their relationship to labor market participation, disadvantage women. Women not only receive fewer, but less generous benefits. Explanations of this outcome, and implications for future policy are addressed.
