Gender Differences in Changes Over Time

Educations and Occupations of Adults With Hearing Losses, 1972-1991

Sharon N. Barnartt

Gallaudet University

Relative to men with disabilities, women with disabilities have been reported to be disadvantaged on variables such as education, laborforce participation rates, occupational status, and income. Most of the studies reporting disadvantages for women used old data. This paper asks if there have been changes since the 1970s. It analyzes gender differences in changes in educational attainment and occupational category from 1972 to 1991 for adults with hearing losses. Data are from the 1972 National Census of the Deaf Population (NCDP), the 1991 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), and other published sources. Results show that differences in educational attainment by hearing status for both sexes had decreased by 1991, especially for women. By this time occupational differences by hearing status still existed, but they had decreased enough so that they were not statistically significant for either sex. However, gender differences in occupational attainment for all three groups were large and statistically significant in 1972, and they remained so in 1991. The effects of demographic changes in the larger society, as well as process of occupational segregation, may help to explain these changes.
