Articles and reports: 75-001-X200910513229Description: Longitudinal data show that disability can be temporary or episodic. Between 1999 and 2004, only 13% of those reporting a disability were affected for the entire 6 years. The longer the disability period, the more likely the individuals were to have less education, be women, be older, live alone and work fewer hours per year. Moreover, the effects of a disability were often felt outside the actual period of the disability.Issue Number: 2009105Author(s): Galarneau, Diane; Radulescu, MarianMain Product:Perspectives on Labour and Income
