Number of persons with disability aged 15-64 years who employed divided by number of persons with disability aged 15-64 years.

R/N x 100

where R = number of persons with disability aged 15-64 years who are employed and N = number of persons with disability aged 15-64 years.

Available disaggregation depends on sampling errors and other caveats.

SDAC does not collect labour force participation information for persons in cared accommodation. Data are available for private dwelling and non-cared accommodation special dwellings only.

2012 report

- 2009 SDAC is the latest available source for data about the labour force participation rate of people with disability.

- 2009 SDAC does not provide this data for the Indigenous population, therefore Indigenous data needs to be taken from a different source (e.g. NATSISS 2008).

- The NATSISS uses an abbreviated form of the Disability Module, which is less detailed that the SDAC.

- 'Not disabled' is a category in the 'Disability status' variable, so data comparable the disabled and non-disabled populations are available in the disaggregation's listed above.
