Individuals with childhood-onset disabilities (COD) have lower earnings growth compared to those without disabilities. A study using Canadian data found that people with COD see minimal earnings growth in their mid-30s and 40s, while those without disabilities experience steady growth until their late 40s and early 50s. The biggest differences in earnings growth were seen among male university graduates.
