Abstract

Despite the compounded effects of race, ethnicity, gender, and disability, Black women have continued to achieve significant progress in increasing labor market participation and creating economic opportunities, yet little is known about their self-employment outcomes. Guided by disability critical race theory (DisCrit), this report explored the prevalence of disability among Black women who were self-employed in the United States and explored the relationship between disability status and income. We analyzed the responses of 91 Black women with disability found in the Household Pulse Survey data collected between August 20 and September 16, 2024. For the epidemiological descriptive statistics, we computed weighted precents, which allows us to represent the estimated national prevalence of demographic characteristics for Black adult women in the United States who were self-employed at the time the data were collected. The ordinal logistic regression model assessed income differences by disability status. Findings indicated that 43.9% of self-employed Black women had at least one disability, 66.9% experienced a mental health condition, 27% had visual impairments, 11.8% had mobility, and 11.3% had auditory disabilities. The regression analysis indicated there was no statistically significant relationship between income and disability status except for increased income being associated with the presence of “worry.” Furthermore, this report provides preliminary insight into Black women with disabilities engaging in self-employment.

打破障碍:自雇黑人残疾妇女的经济现实
尽管受到种族、民族、性别和残疾的综合影响,黑人妇女在增加劳动力市场参与度和创造经济机会方面继续取得重大进展,但她们的自营职业结果却鲜为人知。本报告以残疾批判种族理论(DisCrit)为指导,探讨了美国黑人个体经营女性的残疾发生率,并探讨了残疾状况与收入的关系。我们分析了在2024年8月20日至9月16日期间收集的家庭脉搏调查数据中发现的91名残疾黑人女性的回答。对于流行病学描述性统计,我们计算了加权比率,这使我们能够表示在收集数据时,美国自雇黑人成年妇女的人口统计学特征的估计全国流行率。顺序逻辑回归模型评估残疾状况的收入差异。调查结果表明,43.9%的个体经营黑人妇女至少有一种残疾,66.9%的人有精神健康问题,27%的人有视觉障碍,11.8%的人有行动障碍,11.3%的人有听觉障碍。回归分析显示,除了收入增加与“担忧”的存在有关外,收入与残疾状况之间没有统计学上的显著关系。此外,本报告还初步了解了黑人残疾妇女从事自主创业的情况。
