In order to achieve this purpose, a survey was conducted with 349 women with physical disabilities who are rearing their children, and its results are as follows: Firstly, it was found that only 28.7% of survey subjects were engaged in employment activities, which indicates that the employment rate of women with physical disabilities is low. Secondly, the more positive the level of recognition of disabilities the subjects was, the less the level of help was, which is needed when they were moving, the higher they self-esteem was, and the more the level of their husbands" cooperation and help from others around them was, the higher the percentage of women with physical disabilities employed was. Thirdly, as employment decision factors of women with physical disabilities who were rearing children, the average monthly income of households, status of husbands" disabilities, disability rating, disability reasons, self-esteem, and assistance from others around them were statistically significant as the study founds.
