Sensory Impairment and Labor Force Participation: Evidence From Pre-Retirement Age Adults in China

Abstract

Hearing loss (HL), vision impairment (VI), and dual sensory impairment (DSI) pose challenges to labor force participation (LFP) in midlife. This study examines the impact of HL, VI, and DSI on LFP among adults aged 50-64 and explores differences by hukou-residency status in China.
