Disability and employment

This report is the fifth in a series of reports that analyse employment trends since 2002 for people with and without disability or long-term health problems. The report also examines the development in knowledge about employment-oriented support schemes for people with disabilities as well as co-workers’ attitudes towards people with disabilities. Furthermore, the report examines job-searching activity, reading and/or writing difficulties, and expected retirement age among people with and without disabilities as well as initiatives taken by businesses themselves for people with disabilities. The report deals with two themes: job retention and supply of labour among people with disabilities. The data foundation was questionnaire surveys of people between 16 and 64 years’ old who were interviewed in connection with Statistics Denmark's Labour Force Surveys in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014. In addition, register information was used.
