Abstract

The study investigates the impact of education level, government support, employment opportunity accessibility, the proportion of women with disabilities, and general unemployment on the labor force participation of women with disabilities in Algeria over the period 2000-2025.The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was employed.The co-integration results reveal a long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables.Both the long-and shortrun ARDL estimates indicate that education, government support, accessibility, and the proportion of women with disabilities have statistically significant positive effects on labor market participation, while high general unemployment has a negative and significant impact.These results highlight the combined role of human capital, supportive policies, and social inclusion in enhancing the economic integration of women with disabilities.Based on the findings, it is recommended that policymakers strengthen vocational training programs, improve access to professional opportunities, and enhance inclusive educational and social initiatives to empower women with disabilities and promote sustainable economic development.
