Although ample research shows that people with disabilities face significant labor market barriers, questions remain about whether and how disadvantages in employment and earnings contribute to economic insecurity. We use 1999 to 2012 Canadian Survey of Financial Security data to study disparities in nonhousing assets, which include household savings, stocks, and pensions, across households with and without disabilities. We find that households where the respondent or their spouse reported a disability held 25 percent less in nonhousing assets after accounting for key employment, education, and demographic factors. Demonstrating the more complicated relationship between disability, employment, and assets, these direct effects were further strengthened by disability's indirect effects on assets through its relationship with employment income.
尽管大量研究表明残疾人在劳动力市场上面临着巨大的障碍，但仍存在一些问题，例如就业和收入方面的劣势是否以及如何导致经济不安全。我们使用了 1999 年至 2012 年加拿大金融安全调查数据，研究了有无残疾家庭之间在非住房资产（包括家庭储蓄、股票和养老金）方面的差异。我们发现，在考虑了关键的就业、教育和人口因素后，报告自己或配偶有残疾的家庭的非住房资产少了 25%。残疾、就业和资产之间的关系更为复杂，这些直接影响通过残疾与就业收入之间的关系进一步加强了对资产的间接影响。
