比较美国和德国残疾男性的经济状况,发现两国残疾率相似,但社会制度导致就业、福利领取和经济福祉模式不同;工作对两国残疾男性都很重要,许多人能适应残疾并维持工作与收入。
This paper compares the economic well-being of men with disabilities in the United States and Germany. The results indicate that while the prevalence of disability is similar, the social institutions developed in the two countries result in quite different patterns of employment, transfer receipt, and economic well-being among the population with disabilities. However, while work is more important among German men with disabilities, it also is a very important component of the economic well-being of American men with disabilities. Furthermore, at least initially, a significant fraction of men are able to adjust to their disability and maintain their work status and income.
