ALBERTANS WITH DISABILITIES Sample Clauses

ALBERTANS WITH DISABILITIES. The Survey on Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID) (Statistics Canada) indicates that in 2010 there were about 430,000 Albertans with disabilities aged 16 to 64 years. The SLID data also show there are important differences in the educational attainment, employment rate and incomes of adult Albertans with and without disabilities.1 In this report, data are provided for 2001 (baseline year) as well as 2009 and 2010, the two most recent years for which SLID data are available.2 Education is important to the overall success and wellbeing of all Albertans. While Albertans with disabilities have somewhat lower levels of education than those without disabilities, gains are being made (Figure 1). Overall, between 2001 and 2010, the proportion of Alberta’s labour force that completed high school increased both for persons with disabilities and for those without disabilities. However, the rate of high school completion increased more for persons with disabilities (3.2 per cent) than for those without (0.2 per cent). 1 Statistics in this report are drawn from the SLID which defines “persons with disabilities” as those who report any difficulty doing any of the activities of daily living, and those who report a physical or mental condition or health problem that reduces the amount or kind of activity they can do in any of several different types of situations, including home, work, school, leisure activities or transportation.

About 20 percent of working age Albertans (16-64 years) with disabilities have not completed high school, compared to roughly 14 percent of those without disabilities (Figure 1). And persons with disabilities are less likely than those without to have completed a post-secondary certificate (43.8 percent vs. 48.9 percent in 2004). However, the proportion of Albertans with disabilities who obtain post-secondary certificates is growing faster than that of Albertans without disabilities. Between 2001 and 2004, the proportion of Albertans with disabilities who completed a post-secondary certificate increased by 3.7 percent; compared to 2.7 percent for those without disabilities.3 1 Statistics in this report are drawn from the SLID which defines “persons with disabilities” as those who report any difficulty doing any of the activities of daily living, and those who report a physical or mental condition or health problem that reduces the amount or kind of activity they can do in any of several different types of situations, including home, work, school, leisure activities or transportation.‌ 2 Data for 2001 and 2003 may vary from that reported previously due to adjustments made by Statistics Canada.
