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).
