长期新冠 prevalence、残疾和适应措施:跨人口群体分析
Long COVID Prevalence, Disability, and Accommodations: Analysis Across Demographic Groups
AI总结:
本文分析了长期新冠在不同人口群体中的 prevalence,发现残疾人士更可能受影响,但远程工作参与度较低,需探索其他适应措施。
摘要:
目的:本文研究了美国不同人口群体中长期新冠的 prevalence,以及与长期新冠相关的残疾人士在疫情相关远程工作中的参与程度。 方法:我们使用美国家庭脉冲调查数据,评估所有成年人中自报有长期新冠以及因长期新冠导致活动受限的比例。我们还使用美国当前人口调查数据,估计有和无残疾的工人进行疫情相关远程工作的可能性。 结果:发现女性、拉丁裔、性少数群体、无四年大学学位的人群以及有既往残疾的人更可能有长期新冠以及因长期新冠导致活动受限。远程工作对有此类活动受限的人是合理的安排,可能对一些未披露残疾的人是无意中的适应措施。然而,本研究显示,有残疾的人比无残疾的人更少进行疫情相关的远程工作。 结论:数据表明这种差异持续存在,因为有残疾的人集中在不适合远程工作的工作中。雇主需要考虑其他适应措施,特别是缩短工作日和灵活的工作时间,以雇佣和留住受长期新冠影响的员工。
英文摘要:
Purpose: This paper examines the prevalence of long COVID across different demographic groups in the U.S. and the extent to which workers with impairments associated with long COVID have engaged in pandemic-related remote work. Methods: We use the U.S. Household Pulse Survey to evaluate the proportion of all adults who self-reported to (1) have had long COVID, and (2) have activity limitations due to long COVID. We also use data from the U.S. Current Population Survey to estimate linear probability regressions for the likelihood of pandemic-related remote work among workers with and without disabilities. Results: Findings indicate that women, Hispanic people, sexual and gender minorities, individuals without four-year college degrees, and people with preexisting disabilities are more likely to have long COVID and to have activity limitations from long COVID. Remote work is a reasonable arrangement for people with such activity limitations and may be an unintentional accommodation for some people who have undisclosed disabilities. However, this study shows that people with disabilities were less likely than people without disabilities to perform pandemic-related remote work. Conclusion: The data suggest this disparity persists because people with disabilities are clustered in jobs that are not amenable to remote work. Employers need to consider other accommodations, especially shorter workdays and flexible scheduling, to hire and retain employees who are struggling with the impacts of long COVID.
