| Abstract: |
Using data from the Rehabilitation Services Administration on 18,394 blind and visually impaired individuals who were successfully rehabilitated during fiscal 1982, the author estimated the effects of socioeconomic and VR program variables on the probability that a client will be (a) placed in the competitive labor market, (b) self-employed, (c) placed in sheltered work, or (d) established as a homemaker. Maximum likelihood estimation yielded empirical results that indicate that sex, age, race, marital status, the severity of the visual impairment, and the type of services provided significantly influence the employment outcomes of visually impaired men and women.
