Disability, education and employment in the Nordic Countries

Sammendrag

Enabling people with disabilities to entering the labor market has been an important goal within disability policy in most European Countries, as well as in the EU. However, while people with disabilities represent around one sixth of the overall EU working age population, their employment rate is comparatively low. Disabled people are almost twice as likely to be left out of the labor market as non-disabled people in Europe. Many argues that the main way of achieve increased employment for people with disabilities is to strengthen their access to education. In Norway, several researchers have argued that the impact of education for employment is even more important for people with disabilities than for the rest of the population. In the paper, we explore the relationship between education and employment for people with disability in a comparative European perspective. Using data from the EQLS (The 2007 European Quality of Life Studies), we want in particular to focus upon two interrelated questions: 1) The impact of education in increasing employment rates among people with disabilities, and 2) Gendered patterns in the role that education plays in achieving employment.
