Studies indicate that women with disabilities in China face greater employment challenges than their male counterparts. For women with disabilities, labor force participation is under 20%, which is significantly lower than the 26% participation rate for all people with disabilities. Gender greatly impacts employment status among people with disabilities, with only 35.63% of women with disabilities employed compared to 64.37% of men with disabilities. Furthermore, the average yearly income for women with disabilities in 2010 was about $507, which is 85.9% of the earnings of men with disabilities and only 28.5% of what women without disabilities earn.
