The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted to decrease the discrimination against people with disabilities and to help them participate in all aspects of life. Title I of the ADA focuses on employment and requires that employers take steps to accommodate disabled employees. If a disability hinders the employee's ability to complete necessary job tasks, the ADA states that the employer must try to make "reasonable accommodations" to allow the employee to work effectively. Employers can accommodate workers at the onsite workplace or by allowing them to work from home.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was enacted to decrease the discrimination against people with disabilities and to help them participate in all aspects of life. Title I of the ADA focuses on employment and requires that employers take steps to accommodate disabled employees. If a disability hinders the employee's ability to complete necessary job tasks, the ADA states that the employer must try to make "reasonable accommodations" to allow the employee to work effectively. Employers can accommodate workers at the onsite workplace or by allowing them to work from home.

This dissertation focuses on how the option of home-based work affected the labor force participation of the disabled during the dawn of the ADA. Was the employment landscape for the disabled more favorable after the passage of the ADA? Did the "reasonable accommodation" mandate of the ADA and technology improvements make home-based work a more viable option for the disabled? In sum, did home-based work facilitate labor force participation of the disabled?

This paper is divided into four sections. The introductory section outlines the ADA, how home-based work may fit in its mission, and discusses the literature of labor force participation and disability status. Section II is descriptive and summarizes the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) data to compare the disabled and the non-disabled in and out of the workforce and by worksite choice. This section also shows the change in these characteristics between 1990 and 2000 to see if the ADA may have had an effect. Section III outlines the economic theory behind labor force participation and disability status and is modeled after "Home-Based Work and Women's Labor Force Decisions" by Linda Edwards and Elizabeth Field-Hendrey. The presence of a disability alters the fixed cost of working, but in various degrees depending if one is an onsite worker, a home-based worker, self-employed or an employee. Section IV creates an econometric model that fits this labor force participation problem and shows logit estimates of the models and marginal effects for 1990 and 2000. Finally, I summarize my findings.
