In terms of the Australian population, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2003) reported that 20 per cent of the population had a reported disability in 2003. Different degrees of disability were reported. Specific findings included the following: The rate of disability is directly related to age. Those with a profound core activity limitation had a much lower labour force participation rate (15%) than those without a disability (81%). Those with a disability were more likely to work part-time (37%) than those without a disability (29%). Disability is associated with very low incomes – nearly one third of those with profound and severe core activity limitations were located in the lowest quintile of the population distribution. For those without a disability, around 10 per cent were reported as being in the lowest income quintile. Many of the disabled are not in the labour force.
