Abstract

This report updates tables for the worklife and earning capacity of persons aged 20 to 64 years with and without disabilities in Australia. The estimates are derived from the latest official statistics, namely _Life Tables, Australia_ and _Disability, ageing and carers, Australia_. Employment rates for males and females with profound-severe, moderate, mild or no disability were applied to estimates of longevity from ages 20-64. Analogous estimates were provided for those with a schooling or employment restriction. Overall the worklife for persons with a schooling or employment restrictions was around one-half to just under two-thirds that of those with no disability and lifetime earnings around one-quarter to one-third of those with no disability. Tables for earning capacity assessments are provided. The assumptions and limitations of this approach were outlined especially in relation to the generalisabilty of findings. It was concluded that the economic loss suffered through a disability is likely to be quite large.
