Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) of 2006: Labour Force Experience of People with Disabilities in Canada

This report uses information from the 2006 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) to explore the employment experiences of people with disabilities to gauge their success in the labour market in 2006. People without disabilities are utilised as a comparative group (for more information about the 2006 PALS please see text box 1). Following a 2006 employment profile of people with disabilities, this report provides analysis of changes in the labour market experiences of people with disabilities between 2001 and 2006. The final section of this report explores barriers to employment for people with disabilities including the disability itself as a barrier, workplace accommodations and perceived workplace discrimination.
