Lindstrom, PhD 3  \nAbstract  \nYoung women with disabilities tend to experience poorer postschool employment outcomes than young men with disabilities and their peers without disabilities. Paid work experiences while in high school have been identified as significantly increasing the likelihood of later employment, yet few recent studies have examined the early employment experiences of young women with disabilities. This study reports the characteristics of paid employment experiences of 134 young women with disabilities. Findings indicate that fewer young women in our sample had paid work experience than young women nearly 20 years ago, and that early employment patterns are reflective of gendered employment patterns documented in adulthood. Implications for educators and service providers include collaboration across multiple systems and a need for gender-specific interventions.  \nKeywords  \ncareer development/employment, transition area, high school, contexts, survey, research methodology  \nBeyond having an income, employment is central to individual well-being, providing additional benefits including“social relations, daily structure, and goals all exerting a strong influence on people’s happiness”(De Neve & Ward et al., 2017, p. 145) . Young women with disabilities, however, do not have the same access to the monetary and nonmonetary benefits associated with work given they are more likely to be unemployed than their peers, a pattern that has persisted for decades (Newman et al., 2009) . Identifying and understanding factors contributing to the disparities in employment rates for young women with disabilities is critical to not only addressing disparities in employment and providing access to the benefits of work, but also one key to addressing the high numbers of women living in poverty (Edmonds, 2016) .  \nOne malleable factor impacting later employment outcomes is early paid work experience. Students with disabilities who have paid work experiences while they are in highschool are more likely to be employed as young adults (Mamun et al., 2018) . Given the last detailed portrait of young women’s in-school employment experiences was in 2003 (Newman et al.), this study provides an updated description of employment experiences of young women ina Northwestern sample by investigating three specific research aims. First, this study aims to explore the extent to which young women in our sample participated in paid employment experiences while in high school. The second purpose is to report the characteristics of those employment  \nexperiences. The final purpose is to explore the potential impacts of age and geographic locale on those experiences. From 2000 to 2009, the U.S. Department of Education funded a follow-up to the original National Longitudinal Transition Study (NLTS2) documenting the experiences ofa national sample of 12,000 students receiving special education services as they transitioned from high school to adult roles. Findings indicated that up to 4 years after leaving highschool, young women with disabilities (ages 17–21 yrs.) were employed less often than young men (Newman et al., 2009). This held true when considering both whether young adults had been employed at any point since high school (75% vs. 65%) or at the time of the interview (62% vs. 46%) for males and females, respectively.
