The results of Pearson Chi-Square test described that statistically significant association between socio-economic and demographic factors and employment status for both sexes. The results of binary logistic model indicated that age group, state and region (Tanintharyi and Ayeyawady), place of residence, marital status, and participated in any community are positively significant impacts on employment status and state and region (Chin, Sagaing, Mon, Rakhine, and Kachin), having parents, disability status, educational attainment (high school), and get any support are negatively significant impacts on employment status of males disabled persons. For female disabled persons, age group, state and region (Kayah, Chin, Sagaing, Bago, Magway, Mandalay, Rakhine, Shan, and Ayeyawady), place of residence, getting any support, and participating in any community) have positively significant impacts on employment status whereas marital status, disability status, and educational attainment have negative effects on employment status.
