How long do Canadians with and without disabilities stay with their employer? : A novel analysis by disability type / by Jenny Watt.CS36-28-0001/2025-9-2E-PDF

"This study uses a novel data linkage to provide nationally representative statistics on job tenure—the amount of time with the same employer—for employees with and without disabilities. The primary empirical challenge is that employees with disabilities differ from employees without disabilities in characteristics that predict job tenure, such as age. To overcome this challenge, the study uses a decomposition method that involves estimating expected job tenure given the observable characteristics of the study population. By doing so, the study finds that, overall, employees with disabilities have a median job tenure that is in line with what is expected given their age, gender and sector of employment. However, median job tenure is lower than expected for employees with certain disability types, for employees with non-episodic disabilities and for employees with more severe disabilities"--Abstract, page 1.
