Annual Statistical Report on the Social Security Disability Insurance Program, 2001
This bar chart shows the percentage of disabled-worker beneficiaries in current payment status by sex and age group (under 25, 25-59 in 5-year increments, and 60 or older). The percentages range from about 1 percent for those under 25, to about 12 percent for those aged 40-45, and to about 22 percent for those aged 60 or older. Men make up the about same percentage as women before age 45, a slightly lower percentage in the 45-59 range, and a larger percentage in the 60 or older group. It is in this oldest group that there is the greatest difference between the percentage of men and women.
