The study uses perspectives from sociological and economic theory to explore the workforce participation of 1166 disability benefit recipients who wish to work or continue to work. The following factors were hypothesized to be associated with entry to employment if unemployed, or remaining active in the labor market if employed: Satisfaction with close networks; Range of networks; Perceived consistency in the role expectations for employment held by close networks; The potential to gain higher net income by working (for entry to employment only); Belief that the actual impact of earnings on net income is positive Separate analyses were conducted of those unemployed and those employed at entry to the study. For the unemployed, the dependent variable is any employment. For those employed, the dependent variable is some employment in every quarter. Life tables were used to examine time to employment or unemployment. Survival analyses and logistic regression analyses were used to test the effect of the 5 independent variables. Relevant control variables were included. Separate analyses were conducted for sub-groups that might respond differently to the independent variables. The results for the unemployed were that entry to employment was associated with 'Satisfaction with social support' only (and marginally) for the physical disability subgroup, and with 'Network range' for the whole group and across most sub-groups. The results for the employed were that remaining active in the labor market was associated with 'Satisfaction with social support' for the whole group and some sub-groups, with 'Living alone' for the developmental disability subgroup, with 'Perceived consistency in the role expectations for employment held by close networks' for the physical disability subgroup and with 'Strongly agreeing that work increases income' for the mental illness subgroup. Further research to test the robustness of these results is recommended. Implications of the results for disability benefit policy is explored.
