In this paper we use Portuguese data on individual (multiple) unemployment spells and apply semi-parametric duration models to investigate the effects of different types of disabilities on (re)employment probabilities. We find that disabled persons with muscular, skeletal, geriatric and...

During the last decades, the socio-economic policy agenda has devoted an increasing attention to the inclusion of disabled people into society. Understanding the drivers of life outcomes and conditions of disabled people is essential to analyze the sources of disadvantaged positions. This paper...

This paper will focus on the living conditions of disabled people with different degree of limitations as regards to daily activities. In a first step of analysis we focus on the predictors of four specific domains of life satisfaction. In a second step, we attempt to define the different...

We apply dynamic probit models allowing for unobserved heterogeneity and endogenous initial conditions to IT-SILC data to investigate the low income persistence of households with disabled members. We find that their probability of being in a low income state is higher when compared with...

This paper investigates the dynamics of social exclusion comparing Italian households with and without disabled people, adopting the EU definition of social exclusion and the social model approach to the disability. The analysis applies a dynamic probit model accounting for true state...
