Full Description

This variable indicates that a person had a work-limiting disability. This variable is created from a combination of reports in the core and the disability topical module. We look across all waves of the panel and at the topical module and if ever there is a report of a work-limiting disability, we set this indicator to 1. The universe for this variable is all individuals who were at least age 15 and no older than age 70 by the end of the panel. The following disability variables from the core were used: 1984, 1990-1993 (DISAB); 1996, 2001, 2004, & 2008 (EDISABL). Disability topical modules were asked in the following waves, by panel: Wave 3 in 1984 (TM8450, TM8452); Wave 3 in 1990, 1991, & 1993 (TM8918, TM8920); Wave 6 in 1992 (TM8918, TM8920); Wave 5 in 1996, 2001, & 2004 (EJOBDIF); Wave 6 in 2008 (EJOBDIF).
