Teachers, teaching and pupil performance in primary and lower secondary school

This report investigates employment for disabled people in Denmark’s four employment regions; Greater Copenhagen and Zealand, southern Denmark, central Jutland and northern Denmark.
The report identifies regional differences in a number of areas within employment, including employment level and developments, as well as employment on special terms and knowledge about employment-directed support schemes for disabled people. The report also has special focus on employed people’s attitudes towards the disabled in general, and more specifically towards people with vision impairment, mobility disability and mental disorders.
The study shows no significant differences in regional employment rates for people with or without disabilities. However, the employment rate for disabled people fell in one region from 2010 to 2012, whereas the employment rate for people with no disabilities rose in another region in the same period. Similarly, there is no significant difference in the general attitude towards disabled people in the employment regions. However, there are differences when people are asked about their attitude to working with a person with a certain type of disability.
The report is published as a result of a report on employment developments for disabled people between 2002 and 2012. The study has been commissioned and funded by the Ministry of Employment.
